@BTB,
The pipe on the Comp MT5 is made that way to stick out and when I was installing my Roll bar today, I noticed that point which you just mentioned.
I tried turning it but thats as far as it will go. I also noticed that the top of the pipe which sits under the MT5 body touches the body. Considering that the pipe gets pretty hot, I am assuming that it will melt/damage the body if any part of the pipe will be touching the cover.
QUESTION: From your or any1 elses experience, does the DDM pipe offer a better "fit" than the FG comp pipe which comes with the truck??
I ran a pipe on my MT like that. I flipped the pipe to point down. It did rub the body above and mostly just messed up the paint. The DDM fits much better and does not hit the body.
