since fitting the valver, the exhaust has NEVER lined up straight! been cut and welded so many times!! now finally stopped it from hitting the rear bumper, its now knocking on the fuel tank. this is not good, as the exhaust gets VERY hot, its already marked the tank. i am only doin little journeys, taking it to garage to get it welded up again tomorrow. but is it ok to do short journeys?

the exhaust should sit through the middle of the car and towards the passenger side? shouldnt be that close to fuel tank at all

The tank is shaped so that the exhaust passes between the two sides, I'd make it hit the bumper again for the short time before its welded properly.

ye fuck that off andy, dont drive round in it, better to be safe than sorry.
your taking it to a garage and they cant fit an exhourst properly?
i'd have thought a place that has the tools for cutting and welding it should be piece of piss.
