Default Exhaust Touching Race Bellypan

Soo...I have the Armor Bodies Pro Series which was designed to work with the stock exhaust. Only problem is I have the full Akra and the exhaust is rubbing on both sides where the 4 into 2 pipes are (both sides). The paint has already bubbled and I'm quite sure it will burn a hole thru. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I know this bellypan was made for the stock exhaust but I don't want to buy another one. I was thinking about using the metal tape to see how that does, but I'm not too confident that will fix the problem. I was also thinking of cutting out this portion of the bodywork since it will not affect the bellypan's ability to hold fluid. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance!

I would be tempted to cut some vents where the affected areas are.

+3 on the vents. Make a templet and use a dremel. Take your time and all will be good
