If you went form a auto to manual you should have more room right? I know some mid pipes are sold specificly for auto and manual but I didn't think there would be that much of a problem.

if you are distraught over the misalignment of the hanger brackets on an auto car vs manual it's because the auto car uses a different shape hanger bracket that locates it's placement in a more rearward or frontal spot..can't remember which one it is but the manual crossmember is centered so you'd need a hanger bracket for a manual car for stock exhaust hanger location to be used if this is the prob you are having
