My Synergie has recently had a new exhaust fitted (not long before I bought it). However, when I took it on holiday the other day, I found that the rear silencer box is knocking on the back axle bar when the car is loaded and goes over a bump. I checked the receipt for the exhaust and it says "Synergie/Ulysse/806" exhaust, so it should be the right type, but to me it seems as if the exhaust unit is about and inch too short. Has anyone else had a problem with this before?

I had similar bother when I got a rear box for my 2.1 Xantia. The old and the new side by side were identical except for a slightly different hanging bracket. It took a bit of bending about to get the new one hanging in the correct position.

From memory I think that this is a common fault on replacement exhauasts for this model. Not sure where I read about it though, maybe somewhere on this forum. Do a search to check.
When I bought my replacement it came in 3 sections whereas the original was only a 2 piece arrangement. There is no way of removing the original without putting it up on ramps or cutting it, hence the need for a 3 piece replacement for the DIYer.

I guess it must save them a few pennies on each, making them a little short. Makes them a

This is where I got my replacement system from. You may find it useful for future reference. I bought absolutely every item listed on the schedule just in case although I could have reused some of the old fixings.
I have only fitted the front section so far( incl. CAT ) from the manifold to the front box, the rest is still OK and I'll only replace when necessary. As I said before, the original exhaust is a 2 piece so I'll need to cut it off to remove it. I can measure the 2 rear sections if you would like me to.
