 What is the clearance between the exhaust pipe and the side curtain
storage box? I have noticed that the current Falcon Exhaust pipes do not
have the correct bend to clear this area. In fact, the an extension of 1
inch to the rear pipe hanger  helps to gain clearance in this area. When
you go over a bump, the body and chassis flex (very little) but it just
might be enough to have the box contact the pipe.
