I will try to get a picture of what I'm talking about before I take the system out tomorrow.

Oh man I am really getting old, I see the two pieces yet I do not see the touching part.

Thanks....Im not sure if it breaks in or not but you really need to slam the thing to get it to go back in. I think I can live with that too.

It doesn't touch when in the up position, it touches when it's deployment

Sorry guys... I just reinstalled the stock exhaust..
So when it's fully deployed it doesn't touch it's the movement when its deploying. The area in the picture I posted this morning touches the exhaust when coming down. Make sense?

Yes sure does....there isn't a rattle when driving or any damage to either when operating correct?

Not that I heard but it was only on for a day. I didn't see any marks on the exhaust either..

So now that you are on “ stock “ exhaust, what’s your plan as far as adding sounds ?

I may invest in the Borla Touring and purchase the resonator to go with it. The problem for me was around town it was cruising at 65 mph. There was just to much noise at that rpm range.

I see you have the eTorque. How is it at stop/start red lights?

The magnaflow sounds good at all times. Stop start isn’t that noticeable but of course you hear it wake back up. It really makes the truck sound like a hemi to me

It’s no issue; it’s a smooth start up every time.
Even in drivethrus and going through the security gates on base. No one really has said anything.

So I just had the bed step installed and have a magnaflow, and I've got a situation like this right now.
Goodnews!
- The left exhaust is now centered
Badnews:
- Because it's touching the bed step
It touches when collapsed, not deployed in my case.
If the step gets closed at fullspeed, it will smack the exhaust pipe with some authority.
On a true coldstart, it will vibrate on the bedstep.
I don't really hear it when driving after it's warm. I rolled down the rear window, couldn't hear it.
I'm considering the "exhaust hanger" trick to move it over ever so slightly to the right to create more clearance.
If that works sound/rattle wise, my only worry would be: Is being so close to the exhaust going to weaken it, or untighten any bolts on it or anything.
Other than that, Wow I like the bed step. I'd actually rather change exhausts (To say, Borla if it would help!) instead of get rid of the step!
The Magnaflow has been a good mod that I would recommend to people.
