NewExhaust

Hi advice needed

Just fitted entire new exhaust to my 2001 Jimny pickup.
Including cat and sensor .

1) Having torqued all connections per manual in true aftermarket form I have a slight blow between the down pipe and link pipe. Does anyone know if jointing paste is advisable on this joint as fitted with stainless crushable gasket.(birds nest type)

2)Back box sits at slight oddball angle with tail pie angled slightly down causing box to bang on cross member near rubbermounts. Any thoughts on twisting this without resulting to oxy on the link pipe

Are all the rubber hangers ok??

Hi Daniel
Yes all mountings seem ok but not much give in joint on back box. think bend in link pipe fractionally out

Martin had this issue I'm sure not so long back worth having a search, however I think he reversed the 'stainless crushable gasket' refitted & all was well .........
