Take the pipe back out and go get yourself a portapower... Don't just let it rub, it will rub a hole in your dp and then all this was a waste.

 

Pull out a pry bar and start beating in your firewall.

 

Well i drove it around for the last couple of days and it seems to be getting better. Before when it was really bad i couldn't budge the thing at all by hand and now it has a little wiggle. should i still worry about it because it might get a little better

 

Well it's probably not fixing itself... it's probably making something else all fubar'd

 

well on my 96 it rubbed. then in about a week it stopped making noise.

 

I've had it now for about a week and it hardly rubs at all now so i'm gonna let it sit for a while and then pull it apart and take a look see at what it's done

 

...

 

I can tell you from experience what mine has done... wrecked a trans cooler line because I said ah, it's fine, no worries... ya until my truck is pissin trans fluid everywhere...

Just make sure it's clear of everything otherwise it will cost you later... Like I said before, take it out, get a portapower and make the room for it...
