It runs!

from what i looked at a spacer wont work. even a 1.5-2 incher might cause binding.

If you cut it back like hybrid's the dp/o2 housing is 3" pipe. Make sure if you do weld your own you heat up the cast dp so it doesn't crack when the welder starts its business. We thought about this and shot back and forth with ideas on how to do it.

We thought about shimming the flange so it would angle away, but this would lead to the frontpipe possibly not mating up correctly with the rest of the exhaust and would be a fairly mediocre fix. Neither of us liked knotching the dp because it would not allow for very much clearance if any, and would also be a mediocre fix.

I had seen a skyline with a custom titanium exhaust system that was done it all angle cuts for the bends, and I brought up this idea which worked out since we had a welder, Hybrid can weld, and we had no access to a mandrel bent 3" pipe locally. Hybrid really worked his magic on it considering the cast dp didn't crack, it fits very well, and it still doesn't leak.

I'm sure some hot rod shop could do something similar with your setup.

I'd pass on the spacer if I was you.
