Ashley exhaust
I got myself an ashley comp exhuast system, but the middle pipe is sitting against the rear beam, and is blowing from the front joint, i cant work out why its blowing all brackets tight and there are no holes! was thinking of welding the whole lot together is that a good idea??

sometimes you can rotate the centre section a fraction to give you clearance around the rear beam and make it fit better

I didnt have any issues with clearance on the rear beam...
I had issues with the front anti roll bar! I had to play round with it to get it to stop knocking, but i did it eventually.
I had no problems sealing the joints though. if you are really struggling use some exhaust paste, like gun gum.

Yes it would, but it would need repainting round the weld, cus obviously the paint will melt off and they rust rather quickly with no paint.
May also be a bit of a pain in the arse to fit if its dead heavy and just welded as a big long tube.
