    OP, relax its fine. If it starts to rub on the cat just bend it back a bit (once the car has cooled off for a long while of course).

    Good point. Should I order a new hood just in case?

    As long as you keep the engine cover on you'll be fine.

    You're a good sport. Real talk though I wouldn't worry about it. Mine looks like it got chewed up by a pack of dobermans and aside from having to replace my engine it's been just fine.

    I would have burned through half a dozen clutches by now with all the track time I've put this thing through. That would have seriously cut into my 5w40 budget.
