dp rub on firewall

[JASONA70]

this picture is bottom view(under the car)








manifold does not fit correctly, this is the 1JZ ct26 kit with an upgrade 57 Ct26, this fine down pipe (1 Piece ) rubs against the firewall, i had to force it in and then bolt it down. The previous owner of this dp (eric) never had a problem with this. Im assuming its the manifold, but any who the dp rubs against the firewall and i would say it is pretty pretty pretty damn tight, as you can see in this picture i used the almighty hammer to help me finish the job. i was just wondering if this is going to affect anything? i know vibration is going to be an issue, but is there anything else that could happen? i dont want anything popping up while im driving on the free way.. :icon_bigg

my TMS downpipe on my 7m rubbed as well, vibrated the shit out of the car. i would fix it on the basis to do it right

not to mention it will probably mess your exhaust wrap up

i really don't want to cut and weld =\ i only have an ARC welder and thats a POS. old school !! im saving up for a decent mig welder. i think ill just play with mr sledge hammer until then (put a dent in the dp :biglaugh: so it can clear the firewall)
