I just had mine finally addressed last week....exhaust touching the Kilby's...so he tightened up the hanger some how a small amount. Said it will eventually return as the hanger loosens, but you don't want to put the exhaust up any higher, closer to undercarriage. I'm fine with that. Will address any cutting/venting issues later. Jack, Dub and RallyDude all suggested a backward facing cupped shape chunk of metal be welded over any hole we cut.
