any one running a euro tuck exhaust? i installed one on my 67, and i was delighted that it lined up really well on the heater boxes and heat riser tubes. the last cheepo header system i bought in the late 90's sucked as far as alignment went. however the muffler portion rubs ever so slightly on the rear apron and was wondering if anyone else had this issue and what they did to resolve it. i have been thinking of griding off a small amount of material on the apron lip, where its rubbing. good idea, bad idea? any other suggestions?

thanks

No way I would alter the car to fit the exhaust.

If you are looking for more clearance, I'd heat & bend the muffler/header before altering the car.

Check your front trans mount. If it is worn out the exhaust will ride higher than it should as the front of the trans sags.
