Lining up tail pipes

[wideboy]

anyone know how i can do this?

my tail pipes are sitting low in the cut out holes.

There is slight adjustment on the hanging brackets in the corner which you can move to suit if that fails there is a slight adjuster on the collector box but this is for really movement side to side.

long metal bar and lever the tailpipes upwards from inside them..

make sure the exhaust is warm though

You will find that moving the pipes is ok until you drive up the road, the exhaust will move with the engine movement and go back to place it was originally.

Yeah. Its VERY annoying. It definately returns to its origional place after a long run.

Anyone got a permanent soluton my bumper is rubbing and melting! :shock:

Cut out the centre section?

metal doesnt have memory though..once bent to a position..it should stay there..

touch wood mine is staying put..make sure u are actually bending the pipes..not just moving the backbox on the rubber mounts

It depends on whether you achieve plastic or elastic deformation of the metal. You also have the effect of the metal cooling later too. Whatever the cause my zorst keep migrating back north! :roll:

The two outlets have set centres, if they are wrong in the beginning you will not be able to alter them with out a lot of trouble.

I would have thought that the rear valance was moulded to tight tolerances, same as the exhaust box.

Position of engine mouting etc may be slightly out.

You do not have any adjusted for the centres of the two outlets from the silencer,
