Well, i got my BlueFlame cat back fitted this evening, sounds awesome, but i am not to happy about the way it is fitted, if you look in the picture below it sits to the left of the exhaust housing, i know i am picky but i think it takes from the whole look of it.

I was thinkin of calling the garage that fitted it tomorrow, but wanted to know all your opinions.

would you be happy with the way it is fitted??? can it be adjusted?

P.S sorry bout the pic, it was pitch dark outside when i took it, i will get more up tomorrow.

I wouldn't be happy with that either, there should be some adjustment on it. Go back to the fitter and get them to sort it for you :)

My exhaust on my old car did that but I just bent the exhaust brackets a bit. Should be a quick fix mate.

went back the fitter, he said he needs to heat the brackets and bend them and he can't take the car in until monday, he made it sound like a bit of work, can't see how personally

i may pop out to my dad, he has a blow torch. which brackets did you bend?

We i got the Exhaust aligned, via a crow bar and a blow torch, i must say it sits much better now.
The sound is awesome; it’s exactly what i was after and exactly what the LCR deserves. Some pics below.
