Question Exhaust clearance question...?

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.

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.

No one know how much clearance they have then?, surely someone has recently been under their motor and noticed this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated people. If possible, pics would be superb if poss.

Thanks again guys/gals.

As long as it cannot get nearer when going over a bump then you should be okay..

My front cv boot is with 1cm of a hot wastegate and not had issue from heat.. yet..
