I have just ftted a new tail pipe to my 1.6 jx it seems to at a different angle to the old one and catches the bodywork when the engine is shut off. If i move it round on the studs it points stright down. Has anyone elce had this problem if so what is the best solution. I am thinking the pointing down is the best idea. Thanks Simon C.

It's an aftermarket exhaust.
there is a law in germany that dictated that Diesel exhausts should face the floor, I think this law has been applied in retrospec as I have seen a few like that.
I'm not sure if it's the tailpipe or the box that has the flange welded differently tho.

Thankyou Simon that would explain it its a westy from Germany and has a walker exhaust on it looks like it's going to point at the ground.
