    Header pipe rubbing on rear suspension spring 09 570

    My header pipe touches the rear spring on my 09 570. I've tried twisting the header at the join and spacing the muffler, but it still touches. The dealer told me that they all do it and it is not a problem. It only just touches, but it shouldn't.
