get the exhaust fitted when the car is on all 4wheels on a ramp

if you jack the car up and fit it your never going to know where the axle will sit so you cant sort out the correct clearence

What i did was put my car on those ramps you can drive on. Un-did the clamp, tried to see if the exhaust backbox would push any further onto the centre section and then i put the clamp on slack and pushed my foot against the section whilst tightening it up. My cars lowered and iv a good 1" 1/2 of gap over my rear axle which doesnt rattle or back over bumps or when i have people in the car.

my magnex did this when the garage fitted it,i just took it back and they just altered it slightly and has been fine ever since.

it is really annoying lyk mine use to do it all the time at traffic lights and junctions.
