I sent several pictures via text message to clarify how things are routed on my Jeep, how much clearance there is between parts, etc.
The forum would have been a very inefficient way to try to communicate that kind of detail.
I still have no idea about this clearance issue. I have plenty of clearance on mine. The pipes are bent by CNC machines, then placed into jigs for welding. The process is setup to guarantee that every set of pipes is the same shape. I do still have an older set of pipes from a different supplier, though. I'll be installing a new set of pipes at some point, and I'm interested to see if I run into similar issues with the new pipes.
This seems to be an issue with the latest version of the tune (which also fixed other complaints I had). It's much easier to encounter this with a manual transmission, and happens for me around 1700-2000 rpm with attempted substantial part-throttle acceleration. With the automatic transmission, pressing the throttle a bit more will cause the transmission to downshift and avoid the issue.
I actually encountered this same issue on Prodigy's own Jeep (auto transmission). I met them down in Louisville for a weekend at the Unlimited Off-Road Expo and got a chance to take theirs for a test drive. They also encountered this issue a couple times while in Louisville, but haven't run into it again after returning to Florida. I've sent some data logs and descriptions of how I cause the issue to happen. They are working on it.
