I know a lot of people struggle with wonky exhausts. Myself included wink

I have just the exhaust fitment, everything is fine and all bolts are present and correct. How do you guys line them up? I'm half tempted to take an angle grinder to it!

Exhaust centre mounting plate front engine mount and rear hanger fully in place. Front wheels up on ramps, loosen the clamp onto the Y piece. Go to the rear of the car and twist the tailpipes up and down until the exhaust is rotating at the Y piece clamp. Line up tailpipes, when they are okay tighten the Y piece clamp. Jib done
I tried that as i can get to the y piece clamp from above, but no luck as the rest of the bolts hold it too firmly in place frown

Had another go but it is still not budging. The exhaust mount is now totally loose and i know it isnt seized to the y piece as i had the exhaust almost fully off yesterday and it was sliding backward and forwards. I have take a picture looking down the underside of the car and the plate between the pipes looks parallel to the chassis. It is literally like the tips have been welded on wonky hehe
