I have one of Ben's beautiful mufflers on my car, and i just pulled it out along with the transmission, and noticed it is rubbing on the left back side , small spot on the very far left side, rear where the stock heat shield curves down at the back edge. I was thinking that it has partly to do with Ben's muffler being straight so it gets closer out to the outside on both sides but only rubs on left. Can i put some spacers at the rear transmission mount to drop the rear abut 1/4"? If so, what to use? I have the 911 engine mounts for the transmission mounts with stock hardware and bolts and washers. OR option 2 try and bend that shield but those welded brackets hold it really tight. OR Remove the shield completely and place heat shield material on bottom side of the trunk floor for defection of the heat. any other thoughts please they would be greatly appreciated. Phil |

Put 1/4" spacers above the trans mounts to move my muffler down a little as the exhaust pipes were hitting on my rear valence.  |
