I have just fitted a magnex downpipe and centre section with much help and the downpipe seems to be catching on the sub frame. I haven't got it back on the ramps yet and am hoping that the bracket half way down is more adjustable. Will this bracket safely pull the downpipe clear without too much strain on the connection to the turbo. Quick answers would be much appreciated as its rubbing quite a lot in 1st and 2nd.

Cheers

BTT and any other help would be much appreciated. The downpipe is still catching and I have adjusted it as much as possible.

I had more or less the same problem with my Magnex downpipe apart from it was hitting the steering column, I phoned Magnex direct to find out what to do and they where not very helpful. So,in the end I took it off and heated the wastgate pipe untill it was glowing red.Then I put it in a vice between to bits of wood a closed the gap between the two pipes by just enough to stop it hitting, and now it's tip top.
