I appreciate the idea of a different tip. I had thought it was only rubbing there but when I put it on the lift it's rubbing in a couple places. I have to tuck the downpipes better and change the 2 to 1 collector.... And I'd like the exhaust exiting out the back.

I started noticing that my ride height in the front was getting bad. My upper mounts were shot.
I replaced my them with Verkline mounts.
Raised the front almost a 1/2 inch! LOL
These mounts are definitely firm, I like them alot.

Hopefully I'll get the rear mounts done soon.
