my back box practically hits the spring aswell, got about 1cm gap, the centre silencer has a cut up exhaust rubber wedge between the heat shield and the silencer | |

My magnex back box has always seemed to knock off the side of the axle not the top so i just used a thick cable tie and pull it over and up and that seemed to work for me. | |

Just use smaller exhaust rubbers on the centre section and rear box, cant believe people are actually attaching things to the rear axle... | |

I used to do this, but eventually figured it wasn't realllllly doing it any good and so for the sake of 30 quid I just got a new section fitted with a much bigger arc in it. | |

I had the shop start the bend earlier to get a bigger arc up and over the axle as high as possible | |

I used cable ties on the exhaust hanger and body mount/hanger. Put them on (one each side), raise the exhaust backbox with your hand and tighten the cable ties. I've got loads of clearance, no knocking (unless passengers,fuel,luggage). I didn't bother with rubber on the axle. | |

as above, to those who dont have much clearance for the exhaust on the axle, what have you done/what rubber have you used to protect as i know thats the normal idea. |
