    Ive got a 2013 WR300 with a pro circuit pipe and muffler, Ive just noticed that it looks like the rear wheel hits it as it has scuff marks on the side. Ive got a Pirelli 110 on but before was running 120 size rear.
    Ive checked Ive got t he muffler on the right side of the mounts, the inside right?It certainly looks like it has to fit that way as the mounts have dishes in them for the rubber bits.

    Any one else have this issue ?

    I had a problem with my 2011, with a Michelin 120 getting tire marks on it, but ended up bending the mounts out slightly. End of problem.

    The muffler goes on the outside of the sub frame.

    Yup muff on the outside, put a spacer in between the mounts and subframe if more clearance is required.

    Dont try and bend tabs, they are weak as hell to begin with. If you look in here you will find that a lot of people have the tabs eventually crack. Mine did. Didnt fall on it either. If they crack, there are some fixes other than welding because the aluminum is not easy to weld.

    There is a little flex in the exhaust system at the joint of the silencer and the expansion chamber. You can put a little spacer inside the subframe with a hoseclamp and keep the silencer off the tire. I run a large hose clamp around the silencer and up through the rear fender under the sidepanel to prevent the mounting tabs from breaking. The tabs are under engineered. And I run spacers on the tabs- limits crash damage...
