hi

Today i put the exhaust on the car.I use the mount on "STEVENEBM" picture, to fit the mongoose sistem, but i dont know if this is the rigth fit....

When i look the car underside, i think the exahust ( donwpipe at midlle of the car) look too low, and dont have any mount on this part of the exhaust, its not danger on aceleration?


maybe put the standard exhaust again.....

there isnt any middle section mount and the exhaust does hang down a bit.i have a mongoose on mines.think there is three mounting points.one for backbox.one in the picture and another next to like the passenger side rear chassis leg if i remember correctly.

never had a problem before with mongoose as they havent got the flexi section.if your really worried you could go to a local garage and get them to install a flexi.not ideal as its a new exhaust but you should be ok as im sure loads on here are running them without flexi section mate.

slacken the nuts on the front pipe/turbo. Then loosen the clamp off and the clamp on the rear box.

Put a trolley jack under it and lift it up slightly, then tighten all the nuts and clamps back up and it should be fine.

Mine sagged a bit and after this i had no problems.
