Wink Downpipe help

Recently put a toyo sport down pipe on my newage blob and it's rubbing on what I think is my steering colloum, when I'm driving and turn the wheels there's a rubbing feeling coming through the steering wheel but when static no feeling what so ever wheel turns freely

Has anyone had this problem and how did you solve it ? As I'm all out of ideas

Mate toyosport products are complete rubbish, you're best off removing it and fitting a decent quality one, if its making contact with the steering column there's only one thing for it.... Cutting and welding. it shouldnt be anywhere near close enough to touch it.

Try Haywood and Scott, bit more expensive but excellent 👍

Japspeed stuff isn't much better mate tbh, it's OK in some respects.
As said Hayward and Scott, miltek, scooby world, Scooby clinic, RCM.
I'm sure mattybr5 on here will have some good used ones in stock for a fraction of the rrp and a good used one will be far better than a cheapo chines **** new one. I've learned the hard way as well lol
