Hi all!
Can anyone post some pics of yours? I have installed mine but it touches the bumper... Maybe I have done something wrong?

No one can help me with some pics? :-[

To lower the exhaust you could get slightly longer rubber exhaust hangers at the rear of the car.The other option I have seen by chavs is to get a heatshield mounted onto the bumper but it looks awful.

A heatshield? Never seen that...
In facts, I have mounted this silencer myself with the original rubbers but I would see the original mounting if some members have. It was very difficult to mount on my car because I have only one exit on my car and the silencer have two inputs... So I had to make a splitter, so I'm afraid of doing something wrong...

Yeah I have this brochure of course but we can't see properly... When you look from over, do you see the "i" logo? You can see on my photo, not at all... Can you please make some close up pics of yours? And also below? Thank you.

So I need to cut on my Irmscher bumper? This is not even worth thinking about lol, and it's really awful...
-
maybe fit exhaust with wire as the hangers, from a wire coat hanger perhaps? just to get the position correct, then measure the length of rubber hangers you need to buy?
should be able to angle the rear box down i little at the joint, without stressing the middle sections i guess?

I have talked to a mechanic, I have an appointment this friday to correct that... He asked me for photos of an original mounting to try to do the same thing. So, I'll be very grateful to those who send me photos... :y

You don't need to cut the bumper it merely sticks onto the bumper between the gap where the exhaust and bumper are in close proximity,hence it being a heatshield.Sorry I didn't make that clear earlier. :y

Anyway it's very horrible... Imagine on an Irmscher bumper lol

I did say that they were very chavtaststic earlier :) that's why I suggested the longer rubber hangers to sort out your exhaust :y
-
Yeah I think it's the best solution too... I'm waiting for anyone post some pics now... :-/
-
will take some photo tomorrow, if you drop me your email will send them direct to you :y
-
Serek's car has a good set up from what I saw at Wollaton Hall so you cant go far wrong with that.
-
PM sent Serek, thank you!!

Where the hanger bar goes through the rubber, try pulling down on the exhaust slightly and push in an old tyre valve or something similar into the hole above or below said bar, this will lower the exhaust slightly and may give you the clearance you require :).
HTH,
Pete :y.
