fit it in seperate bits. first the cat, then the centre section then the backbox. keep each joint loose so you can move them about and once they line up tighten them all up. | |

cheers for the help, yup Dave thats the bit I meant, I worked out the problem last night, because the system was fitted to another corsa (which was rolled the same day) the downpipe appears bent, as though the whole system has been pulled back, the 2 surfaces dont mate up squarely..:boggle: | |

Hey poot i kno wat ur on about i had exactly the same problem with mine, connecting the downpipe to the cat? The flages were welded at the wrong angle so sent it back and got another, it still blows a little but nothin drastic, if you are on about the cast iron manifold connecting to the downpipe try a new seal but as far as im aware there are no springs connecting the downpipe and manifold, just springs connectin the downpipe and cat, hope this of help to you:thumbs: | |

But there are only 2 holes for the bolts to go through, one either side of the pipe :boggle: these are spring loaded also | |

Changed over my whole exhaust system tonight, fitted a whole new standard system from the manifold down. |
