It's a 59. Is there a 90 degree adapter for this sort of thing? Really didn't want to pull the exhaust,but may have to. I'm using Dolphin brand. Called them, they weren't much help.
Thanks, Mike

Sorry,but it sounds like you'll need to modify the exhaust.
Just how tight is it?
At first I wondered if you could 'dimple' the pipe but if it's that close,heat might also be an issue.
