They tried to adjust it to get clearance but couldn't see how it would, and I spent about 3 hours on my back attempting the same with very minimal improvement. Ended up tapping it flat in one spot with a ball peen hammer to get about 1/8" clearance - i.e., not much.

You think it’s because of how the Remus bolts to it that it raises it a bit? With the M Perf it clears it.

Do you get vibrations?

That's what I'm thinking but the likelihood of user error is high. After the "reshaping" I'm not feeling any vibrations.

My car is on the lift so snapped this for you. I can confirm there is enough clearance with the M Perf exhaust.

You have to loosen the clamp on both ends of the connecting pipe and rotate the piece a bit, if the issue is from the pipe being to high, you can also try to adjust the remus muffler height. I believe there is 3 inches of play to allow the muffler to sit very high or low

With Remus axle back exhaust and AA midpipe (stock downpipes, everything else stock hardware wise), Should I run bootmod3 stage 1 or stage 2?

I would run map 1 with stock downpipes

I ordered the AA midpipe to go with my remus muffler, but AA dropshipped it with the oem clamps instead of a reducer clamp to mate the Remus and AA. Am i supposed to try and gap the clamps to fit over the remus?
