Exhaust Problem

[CALIC]

Hi, as av been busy with work for the past 5 months, i haven't worked on my beetle project up until now. Last week i decided to finsh off the beetle and take it out to run the new engine in. While making the final touches (installing the wheelie bar) i noticed that the Dom Exhaust and the BUG shield are touching with each other. Now i had installed the shield but the problem is its not placed correctly as i needed to leave some space for the exhaust. Is there a solution to this?

Also as you might see from the photos below, there is really not much space for the tip of the exhaust, will this also be a problem?

Sorry for the long question. Thanks

Shouldn't be a problem, but will mean your wheelie bar gets messy.
I had one of them, and I cut about 8mm off the end.

Didn't give any problems at all.

Do you need the wheelie bar? Run it without and see how it goes before you make any decisions.

U don't have to worry bout it getting messy just go to Ddm n find an exhaust hose like one from he x pipes n run it how every u wanna run it n then with it being so close the hose should give u a lil protection from rubbing
