Well, taking it out for another drive, I hit a pothole and all the
clunking issues are back like on my first test drive with the
exhaust, so I guess I am going to have to take it all apart again,
and try cutting a bit off the downpipe as you suggest! I hope that
clears things up, because this is getting a bit annoying. I just hope
I didn't tighten the clamps down too tight, making it a real PITA to
get the thing apart again.







The goal is to overcome the deliberate nature of the process.
