I recently picked up my bf2 turbo and have noticed that when turning hard left around twisty roads at 35-50kms/hr the exhaust hits the chassis rail.

I had a look while it was on the hoist at the tyre shop and could see where the pipe had been hitting...it is hitting at the first "Y" splitter (stock system).

It looked like it only had 10mm gap between them which I thaught was not enough

It seems worse when your on the brakes and hitting bumps

The guy I baught it off said ,he used to run it with the first flange unbolted cause it sounded good.....Maybe its bent?

I suspect the engine mounts are f**ked , but would like to hear if this is a common thing or not ???

Its done 130,000kms

Never been modded?

ie always had original zorst fitted?

Having flange unbolted is a bit retarded also, extra load on rear rubbers may have stretched them and now too much play. Maybe source new rubbers.

Was a company car up to 120kms, the guy I got it from said that the exhaust was all he had played with (retard) and the engine bay is stock

Havent had it dyno'd or plugged in yet so it could be tuned or was tuned? but I dont think so...

Im planning to replace the hole system soon anyway, but was more concerned about possible engine mount problem?

I have seen mounts for sale on ebay including some billet nolathane types and it made me think its a common thing?
