Exhaust clearance question..! Long winded...

[URABUS79]

Hi all, whats your opinions / thoughts??

My m8 fitted my ninja rear box a week or so ago to ma scoob[],   sounded good but has developed a 'blow' where the back box meets the centre pipe[:'(]. Today i have removed the box to clean up bits of the old gasket which  mysteriously got left on the middle section[]. A little dum dum on either side of the new gasket, fired it all back to gether and still blew a little[:@].  I slackend it all again but this time, pushed centre section up with ma knee straightend it all up so flanges looked symetrical, tighten all up to F/T. NO blow now[], however  pipe from centre section  to box itself is only aroun 1/2 - 3/4"  away from drive shaft and rubber boot[8-)].

Is this gona be a problem,  is heat from exhaust gona toast the rubber boot when stationary??? I don't think it will be a problem when the cars moving,  but what do you all reckon? Should i take it all of again and try to mate the two sections up before fitting to the hangers.

 

Thanks in advance people.

i thought about that with my old angle exit jap style, it's close with my tsl one now but i couldn't seem to alter it much, coz the down pipe is one position, then centre ain't got much give in it, so i though that's where it landed it can stay!!.....gonna double check though to see how things are hotting up[]

How much clearance does everyone else seem to have between box and driveshaft???

I'd an annoying squeek after I fitted my TSL system .

I thought it was suspension related , and I feared the worst[]

Took a while to trace , but it turned out it was rubbing against a welded flange underneath .

A wee tweak with a big shifter bent the flange a couple of degrees out of the way and problem solved []
