ry4n Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well after a few months of ownership I should have known some jealous son of a BI**H would have to stick his boot in. So here's my problem went to work the other morning and drove into the car park. There is a security gate that opens and shuts automatically, as I drive through the gate (as long as I stay to the far side I can get through without catching my exhaust.) But as of a few days ago this is not the case. It's catching every time now, it's also catching on my driveway. on closer inpsection it looks as though some friggin tosser has booted my exhaust. It must have pushed it in and downwards, to say i'm gutted (and majorly pis*ed off would be an understatement) I've had the car on a ramp and the local greasemonkey cant see anything wrong. My question is barring powerflow who could sort this out. Please help, this grinding sound is making me feel sick! I've included some before and after pics. Cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ry4n Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 The first pic is before The backbox is now touching the bumper, I knew it was stuck out further than most after I looked at a few pics on here but it never caused a problem The car is garaged at night, no way is it going on the street. unfortunatley they still have'nt invented the mobile garage yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I dont think this was done on purpose chap these exhausts are made of good steel and assuming all the hangers are still in place it would take considerable force to bend. Do you have any pics of the complete system from underneath, so we can look and see where the system is distorted? Then check all the joints are intact and still sealing and with a little heat ease the exhaust back into position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
