jus wrap it with heat wrap... or try to bend it a bit or smash it in a lil bit. wont hurt the flow that much. jus find exactly where its touching n smash it in a bit with a hammer... then wrap it with heat wrap a bit where it might touch.

alright that sounds good ill do a 1.5 straight down, smash it in, heat wrap it, then have the 1.5 welded into a 2.5, so it does look possible to put a dp without damaging the alternator

Sounds like your best bet right there. I'd stay away at all possible from "smashing it in" just use smaller piping so it's still smooth flowing. If you need heat wrap my Dad got me some from work. Fire blanket is what it is really. Alot of it. I can probably send you some if you pay shipping.
