Tail Pipe Interference

[k-huevo]

This tail pipe section contacts the tow bar, track bar, stabilizer bar, and body. Removing the tow bar fixed that issue, but the other problems remain. I see a few bolt-on replacements and I would like to hear experiences with any that aren't lousy like this one. 2005 TJ X

Mine rubbed my right long arm, I had to make a modified hanger.

Does it have a tummy tuck / belly-up skid plate?

OE skid plate.

just cut it a tad short on a straight section of pipe forward that to slid it a bit forward. I did mine where it slid into the back of the muffler.

I had interference issues with mine and I took it to a local muffler shop, pointed out the issues, and they bent and reworked the tailpipe to clear everything. Cost me a whopping $40

X2, this is what I would do. It's cheap, and any exhaust shop can do it in an hour or less in most cases.

I did the same thing-—-quick & easy

Oxidation, holes in heat affected areas of welds, and packing loss in the muffler can; this cat-back is beyond repair.

I replaced that Magnaflow with a Flowmaster Force II cat-back for the TJ (817491). The series 60 Delta Flow muffler sounds fantastic!
