Anyone running a scorpionn have more than a few mil between the can and the back tyre? I didn't have the rubber spacers that come with the pipe so used some nylon ones I had from a jl and it seems really close to the back tyre. Is that just hope it is with this pipe? Help!

You should be able to get a finger or two between the can and tyre at least . Try taking the JL bushes out to see if you gain more room and if so thin them down by half. Don't rely on the bracket being welded at the correct angle either.
