    Hey guys i have a little prob I hope someone can help me with. I have a 03 firebolt and in the process of doing the belt and pulley upgrade. The problem is the new idler pulley is hitting my exhaust tip (buell race exhaust). The old one had enough clearence but the new one seems longer. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
