I just finished installing a new muffler/ exhaust on my Schwinn Cruiser. My original had a possibly bent flange and was also having some
left side pedal clearance issues.
The muffler is some sort of expansion type muffler that cost just slightly more than a stock replacement and it had mostly good reviews. See pic 1.

Two issues came up during installation.
1) I had to turn the carb slightly to the left on the manifold to let
the fuel inlet have some clearance away from the tail pipe see pic #2. So instead of being straight up and down on the manifold,
the carb is turned slightly to about 11 O'clock. It is still pushed all the way in on the manifold. Will this likely cause any problems?
2) I now have a slight pedal clearance issue on the Right side. The pedal contacts the muffler/pipe but can be still pushed past the muffler. see Pic 3. Does this look like something that can just be filed down or hit with a grinder--or do I should I get some extra clearance pedals (I would like to avoid that if possible).
Thanks for any input anyone can provide on this. John
