Idler arm gouging headpipes

I can try, some of the connections were welded up when they did it at the shop. Sounds like you're saying maybe the pipe needs to go away from the engine more, that could give it room to move upwards and out of the way? As it is, it'd run into the bracing between the tranny bellhousing and engine if I tried to move it straight up

Did they weld and install all of this at the shop including install the head pipe in question? If you paid them to install it. They should should have checked to see if the idler was hitting.

I'm saying turn/twist the end of the pipe , so the part near the idler moves up. Are the connection in and out of the X-pipe welded up? I think you need that movement to make adjustments.

BTW TTI instruction say don't weld up the pipe. My system is not welded and all. At least don't weld it up untill you drive it and make sure you don't need any more adjustments.
