Exhaust + axle clearance

[Iain]

Just fitted my exhaust, however the clearance over the rear axle is slightly concerning. Here's a crap picture of what may be a problem, can anybody tell me if this will cause a problem when driving?

may bang every now and then if its a problem shorten the hanger a touch

[Iain]

I'm liking that hanger idea, as you can see the middle box hangs down more than necessary too! I may look in to doing that if I don't get any better suggestions.

Shake the system about by hand, if you hear/feel it hit something it will do when driving.
Altho the height of the middle box looks fine to me, thats how mine sits, my front pipe sits even lower than that. Lol

[dave.gsi]

wont do any real damage even if it does hit it. itll just be major annoying with all the rattling.

what make is it?

[draper]

are you missing a clamp on the join aswell :p

[burgo]

if it bothers you that much heat it up and bend it for more clearence. thats what i did and ive got about 120mm drop and its fine

[Mike]

thats more then enough clearance in that pic

[Iain]

The reason I was concerned was becuase it was rubbing the handbrake cable, I've jiggled it a bit and it seems to have enough clearance now. I reckon if I can mod the middle hanger it'll have loads of room and not hang too low.

The system in question is the Eurorallye one, dave.gsi.

Unclamp the backbox and turn it, on a nova, adjusting the backbox alters how the whole system sits.

[Iain]

Yeah that's what I did, twisted it round to give it another cm of clearance or so.
