My charge pipe rubs too, it also left a little dent on my hood. I just put a arm band on the pipe for it wouldn't take off my paint.

Mine rubs too. What I did for now was pretty much the same as 20redline did. I am gettin the under hood mat with the "SS" on it soon so hopefully I won't have to worry about it. Kinda sucks because I noticed it late and I already lost a little spot of powdercoating :/

yeah same here as well.

takes a little paint off the pipe and left a dent in my hood.

guess youd just have to cut the end of the pipe a little shorter so it leans down more.

but I havent done anything abou it yet.

Mine rubbed till I readjusted it. also the motor moves a bunch now. I'm going to fill my mounts with polyglass. that might help.
