Catalytic converter clearance..?
 
I bought a direct fit catalytic converter off of Ebay. Everything bolts up just fine but one corner of the engine side of the catalytic converter is touching the heat shield mounted on the tunnel above it. The new converter also did not come with any heatshields or even flanges so I could mount the ones I removed from the bad original converter. My only real concern is about heat transfer from the tunnel to the floorboards creating a possible carpet fire hazard.....think this will be an issue?

Welcome to the forum. Yes the cat puts out a lot of heat hotter than a muffler. Must have a heat shield of some type or you will be smelling your insulation and carpet smoldering.
