   i've today put my magnex on, it is a mk1 system with decat which i have put on my mk2.
   
   problem is the magnex seems to face down and looks as if it needs to be lifted up, is there anything i can do??
   
   rep will be given.

   Umm im sure you can buy the little rubber hanger things in different sizes to adjust how low your exhaust sits, someone correct me if im wrong?

   Don't know if they're different sizes or not but you're right, you need a new rubber hanger which will lift it level, or you could cable tie it up a bit.

   mate the rubbers off a 106 gti are smaller but all i done was put the hanger through the middle bit of the rubber and put a tie wrap around the rubber so it didnt bounce out been ok so far

   get some new rubbers, with you taking your old exhaust off and putting this one one on and the age of them tghe chances are they wil have stretched. just get some new ones. you could always put a cable tie round the rubber to adjust its length

    Baz, I notice you've cable tired your exhuast to your spare wheel cage... what happens if you need to get your spare out?

    i don't
    
    no the cage will actually slip out as the bar stop an inch or so above the cable ties so if i undid it, the cage would drop as normal, i would just need to put some more cables ties on after
