Rubbing Borla Stinger pipes

[Black'03GT]

I installed the Stingers a few months ago and at the point where the pipes come together in the center, I adjusted it so there was only an 1/8" in between the pipes (which was the most seperation I could get). Since then, they have moved and the pipes are now rubbing.

Do others have this problem and what can I do to adjust/fix this?

I had to spend considerable time adjusting clamps and twisting the hangers to get tehm even in the rear and about 1" between them at the gas tank. Just see what you can do.

any other suggestions? Can I put some kind of material between the pipes to prevent them from rubbing (asbestos?)

Do what tenth scale did, it will work with some time.

I put a rubber spacer between them when i was installing them, I adjusted the tips and made sure the pipes were level and tightend everthing up. When i removed the spacer the pipes stayed where they were. The first time i did this the pipes moved back together, the problem was i torqued everything but the flanges at the h-pipe. I spaced everything back out and torqued the flanges to 25-30ftlbs and it hasnt moved since. Hope this helps.
