Sorry. Posts like this have come up quite often and poeple usually sugest that method. Then we get a twenty page thread on which type of rubber and fixing method is best :lol: :lol: I think most will agree that simply heating the exhaust section with a blow torch and tweaking it slightly is THE best method... | |

VERY easy solution to sort this is to pop your car to a good exhaust fitters. They can heat up the bend in the exhaust over the rear axel and once its red hot just put a bit more bend on it to get it to clear. Also turn the clamp around as others have sugested. I wouldnt bother with peoples ideas of fitting foam/rubber to the axel etc as that sound like a bodge job style. If you have the clearance alos fit some shorter exhaust rubbers which the exhaust place should stock. Basically be nice and wave a tenner under their nose when they are quiet and they should sort you and it will only take about 10mins... | |

mine did the same, but when i raised the backbox, it sat at a funny angle...i.e pointing in the way. it did my tits in so just took it to a custom exhaust place who chopped it up and welded it up in the proper position for me!!!! only 40quid | |

yup there are 2 rubbers which hold up the centre section, i shortened mine by about 3/4 of an inch, also reduced play in it so it hardly moved | |

loosen off the rear exhaust system clamp & rotate it round 180 degrees, is more than likely that which is catching | |
