Fitting new exhaust

Tinribs · Dec 10, 2007

What's the best order for fitting a new exhaust system. Should you tighten up the joints first and then the mounts? Or tighten the mounts and then the joints?
I've put a new exhaust on a 90 2.5 na D and it looks fine from underneath but inevietably ends up rattling against something when the engine's running at certain revs. The original exhaust has a habit of breaking its exhaust mounts and cracking its joints and I don't want the same to happen with the new one.

I'd do the joints first, using some jointing compound, then the mounts.
When doing the mounts, adjust / bend / modify as required to ensure sufficient clearance and lack of strain on the joints.
