182 exhaust tips sitting too far to the right??

[Brian J]

My clio 182 came with the standard sagging rear exhaust. (Milltek) it sat low and crooked but central to the bumper cutouts.
I replaced the mounts with Grams 3d printed ones and lined it up really nicely in the centre of the bumper cutouts and level, but it has migrated right in driving till it is touching the bumper. a. It looks rubbish & b. It is causing the bumper to resonate and is really unpleasant sounding.
The mounts are As far forward as they go, which looks like it should push the exhaust left. Do I have to get brutal and bend the hangers to get anymore movement? If so how is it best to do it?

So I actually created a spaced out of an old. Exhaust mount to level my tips up and it’s worked perfectly. Basically hacked the insert mount off and ground it flat the. Fitted under the exhausting mount.

My exhaust tips are now level in pretty much every direction

Thanks for the detailed writeup! That’s a great idea.
Fortunately, since I fitted the Grams inserts in the rear mounts, the offset holes have let me level the exhaust perfectly, it’s sideways movement I need. It sat perfectly when I set it, but then drifted to the right until it touches the bumper. Whatever I do, it now sits about 15mm too far right (but still level). I’m out of adjustment on the mounts, so it feels like getting all Neanderthal on the exhaust hangers might be the only way forward. Has anyone else had that issue?

I have the exact same problem, same mounts, and same exhaust.

Apart from moving the mounts as far over as possible I haven’t tried anything else so I’ll be keeping eye on this.

I have exactly the same problem with the grams inserts. It looks s**t !
