   its not the gaskey jay. the lower pipe can adjust but its been pushed right at the front. the bolts/springs are tight. yet i can still move the cat back and rattle it

   or use silicone to seal it as it will move with the exhaust rather than just shatter

   I dont need to "rip it off" or wait till ive passed a mot. It will regardless. (cat isnt in the mani).
   
   Just had a little issue bolting it tight. Sorting it now.

   sounds odd, you sure you have done it correctly, ie, spring in the correct place and have you used a fire ring? (that tapered round thing that sits in the end of the mid pipe)
