magnex exhaust fitting tips

my backbox snapped today sounding like a right beast. 8) :twisted:  . anyway i have bought a magnex stainless system, thought i would get it fitted professionaly so took it to an exhaust/ tyre garage.  yes its blowing, yes it's knocking, they say bring it back and they will have another go.
 has anybody got any tips/ advice  regards fitting  as i will probably do it myself, also my heat shield on my petrol tank has seen better days and is hanging down and touching the exhaust, would it be safe to remove the shield and heat wrap that section of the exhaust ?

Did they use re-inforced hangers? the ones with chains in them.  That should hold it still.  I got some from C&R IIRC.  As far as the heat shield goes, I would be inclined to replace it, wouldn't want the exhaust tips to be any hotter that neccesary.

the magnex systems are of good quality and as a result easy to fit. they are however, heavy. use good rubbers

ive had a magnex stainless on mine for almost a year now, and i hate to say it, but i have never been able to get it to fit properly! constantly knocking and rattling.
 no matter how many times i get underneath the dam thing, the amount of exhaust rubbers i have been through and the amount of bloody knuckles i have recieved! when ever i think ive got it sorted i will drive down the road and it will start rattling again!
 bloomin rubbish!
 
 so if you do find a way of sorting it out then please post pics/ let me know how youve done it, cos it that sort of annoying rattle which really makes you hate driving!

 :evil:
 
 ahhhh rant over!
