I got my exhaust over the weekend. Unfortunately because of the turbo downpipe (I think) its fouling on the rear bumper exit. What options do I have? Shall I get someone to cut and reweld it to fit? If so who might be able to do it. I don't really want the hassle of sending it back.. thats if they will accept it to start with!

"by fouling he means catching / rubbing on have you tried different rubbers? i had this on the birds pug when it dropped off i used larger rubbers off a siera or somethin and it just dropped it enough OR extend the pole's which go onto the rubbers i've done that in the past. or cut you bumper a bit?"

Yea its catching on the exhaust exit on the bumper. Unfortunately we tested this again today without rubbers and it's still the same.

If it were me I would cut the bumper. A good job a filing can made it look decent.

I don't want to chop anything on my car. Its the exhaust at fault not the bodywork. I think i've found someone to do the job now

Haha see if you'd of said its catching on ur bumper id of understood! Yeh id try some longer rubbers i had exactly the same problem with the cat back system i had on the black bravo it allowed the exhaust to hang just a few mm more so that it wouldnt hit the bumper but still kept the taughtness there so that it didnt just wobble around.
