   it looks like the clamps may need slackened then exhaust swisted then retightened if that fails try bending the exhaust hangers on the exhaust slightly

   Put a jubilee clip around the exhaust rubber and then tighten it up until it sits how you want it

    step one. remove the gay lights.
    
    if jubilie clips over the rubbers dont work.
    bend the actual hangars so they are firther up into the shell as to speak

    Best thing to do if you havent got access to a set of ramps or pit, take the car to a desent exhaust fitter Not Kiwk-Fit or Hi-Q and ask them to look at it.
    
    Its probally the hanger on the back box that isnt quite right.

    also have to be careful wen shortening the exhaust hangers as the centre silencer may hit underneath the car, or if loosing it and the clamp doesnt sit right it will blow..... Will have to have a good play with it, there isnt much i can do with mine, i blame the shitty kiwik fit centre section! Going to get supersprint centre section though so dont have to worry about no silencer hitting off the bottom of the car!

    Saxo exhausts ive had when rotated raise UPWARDS so turn it clockwise should lift it upwards and depending on the pipe work may raise it slightly. long as it stays lined up should be fine.
    
    if not yup tie wraps and diff mounting rubbers the way forward
