Hi Guys... I have just fitted new gas shocks and the Diablo exhaust, but something seems amiss with the exhaust... when I took off the stock exhaust it felt as if it was partially inserted into the engine block, but the Diablo seemed to only butt up against it. I went ahead and tightened up the 2 nuts so that the flange, or plate, tightened up against the 2 bolts. Unknown to me, as I was tightening the bolt on the far side (and out of sight) the flange bent up and appears to have slipped over the end of the bolt. I only noticed this when I went to replace the sump guard (crash-plate), it wouldn't go on as the new exhaust was too low and the front of the guard is about an inch away from where it's supposed to attach! Does this mean that the end of the exhaust has to be fully inserted into the engine block before slipping the plate up against the bolts and then tightening? I have hunted on YouTube for some sort of advice on how to do this but I can't find anything... does anyone know how to do this, I'm desperate for advice! Cheers, Hansi
