[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16626563, member: 199546"] I'm not sure how you could be off 5 inches without the OTA pipes hitting obstacles around the axle....even the rear muffler support won't don't give you that much play without bending the support rods. You can cut off some of the front of the OTA pipes but watch for the bend....there is a slight angle change on one of the pipes (I think it was the drivers) and you need to leave enough straight pipe support ahead of the bend to clamp correctly to the front pipe, otherwise you'll have an exhaust leak at the joint or alignment issues going to the rear. I encountered this when I changed my pipe size and welded adapters to the OTA pipes after cutting them. Those pipes are heavy duty but I used a Harbor Freight band saw - it cut through that metal in three seconds.
