The problem is the height of the right side header/Xpipe. If it were perhaps 1/2" lower than the left side, the chain would not rub the silencer pipe. But then the right side silencer bracket would not be positioned to attach to the frame mount.
I see this as bad fabrication of exhaust overall.
This was SBN's very first unit fab-ed for the 961, so job was completed in a hurry for me because I wanted an aftermarket exhaust in December 2013.
You know the saying - the pioneers get the arrows.
Later units like your gen2 were more carefully engineered.
I'm not concerned though because FE tells me that the Theil 2-into-1 is coming, soon, maybe, dunno for sure.
