So I'm getting to the point where I just don't give a shit. I thought it was my OBDI midpipes on OBDII headers that were torquing my engine over, and they were (because the geometry doesn't line up with the combination, the cats hang on the driver's side) but not that much. The shifter is now usable again but the booster is still touching the manifold. I spent all evening last night screwing aruond with it, jacking up one side, shoving a spacer under to see what it would take. I'd basically need to have like another 1/4-3/8" on the driver's side to get daylight. I already have 1/4" on each side. I could just lose the 1/4 on the passenger, since I've given up on trying to make the E36 midpipes to work and getting a custom from headers to catback.
But do I need to? What's the worst that can happen? I mean even if I make a little bit of daylight between them, I'm sure they will still touch under some conditions (like hard cornering or throttle-off twist). The booster has a little bit of rubber coating on that rim that touches, I'm really tempted to just leave it as is...
