a s2 exhaust fits a cabbie fine, there prob nothing wrong with the magnex, it prob just needs refitting and taking time to adjust each section properly before tightening it all up

were does it knock?
my scorpion exhaust banged on my rear arms/baffle plate, so i had another bracket welded onto the chassis and pipe, sorted it out straight away.

mark : thats where its vibrating a believe.Also the middle to front section has a bracket but looks snapped off so cant reach to put another rubber on. Might just get hold of another exhaust.Got ats to have a look and i had a look myself whilst it was on the ramp. Sorted a few things so its not so bad now but will need sorting.

the one you say that looks snapped of isn't, on the chassis there is a mounting for an exhuast bracket which isn't used.....not sure on the cabriolet.
The scorpion exhuast didn't have the bracket fitted, someone else i know had to have a bracket fitted in the same place i had to have mine done, get yourself upto BELL exhuast centre 30 min job they will fit another bracket on exhuast/chassis, remove all underseal and fit the rubber for £40.
