Hks Hi power catback issue !

Hey guys, just got the car from SCM, they stated a metal noise when turning to left.
They said its the exhaust touching the drive shaft, I have the HKS Hi power 30th anniversary.
I've heard here on the evom.net this question was discussed before, but i cant find it. Tried to search for 2 hours.
Does anyone know how it can be fixed/adjusted or the link to the old thread?

Thanks

Kartboy exhaust hangers will fix it.

I believe its the way everyone bolts up their exhaust. There is some play when you are installing it and the first time I did it, mine surely did rub but once i loosened the connections and moved it around, now i have no rubbing issues at all.

go back and tighten all the bolts, make sure you look at every corner of the exhaust and see if it is close to any part of the car which might bend and touch it. the exhaust does sway iven if has hangers and bolted on.

Do you have the HKS Hi power US version ? that the exhaust is angled?
Today, dp310 and I checked the midpipe, damn the resonator is polished im scared that it makes a crack =(

How did u play with it ? Did u loose the bolts from the downpipe all the way to the axle back?

If u can please can u take a picture of how ur exhaust is located? Thanks im waiting for ur answer
