Exhaust clearance

I installed tsp long tube and 3" x pipe. The factory bracing won't go back on without about 3" of spacers. Has anyone else had this issue? How did y'all fix the problem?Name:  20180504_140252.jpg

You have a convertable? It seems that many convertible guys are having issues with their under brace when altering exhaust. Convertibles are not designed for performance... I don't think GM cared about exhaust clearance when designing them.

Semi related, I have a hooker 3" cat back on my 2015 slicktop and had no issues with fitment at all. It is over 1" from everything even at the tightest spots.

You will experience this and also clearance around the rear braces and brackets but it can be done. See my thread;
