Can you clarify engine and number of car? And exactly what area?
My 1109 has a dart 351 and they are within a 1/4" (hard to give an exact measurement comparison on what you are basing it off, but 1" on drivers side, 3/4" on passenger side). I would call it a very tight 1/4" too, closer to 3/16" or less.

it was measured at the opening where the sidepies come out of the body right in front of the collector measured to the top tube the back end of the sidepipe is fine

For some reason, I found this issue to be curiously interesting. My clearances are about equal at 3/4" for both sides where the pipes curve out. Where the pipes are parallel to the body they are about 1 3/8" for driver side and 1 1/4" passenger side. After 6500 miles, I notice a dullness to the paint finish near where the exhaust exits from the body. I wonder if the heat effects will cause anything more noticeable in the future?
