MY05 WRX Exhaust fitting
#1

I recently bought myself a Prodrive backbox to replace the standard WRX pea shooters.
Now it's fitted (and looking/sounding a lot better) I notice that the fit doesn't look quite right.
The rear left exhaust bush is sitting as if it's being pushed back, i.e. it's at a 45 degree angle rather than straight.
Now the car has a towbar fitted, and what this means is the exhaust mounting bar on that side of the exhaust (the bit that's poking through the rubber mount) is just tapping a bit of the towbar and it's making lovely noises rattling around![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I've refitted the backbox and can't see a way I can get things to sit how it appears they should.
So my questions are, should this rear exhaust bush be sitting straight rather than at an anlge, considering I've got a towbar on?
And secondly I understand that having a tow bar removes the standard mounting point for the rear of the exhaust. What is this part called and does anyone have a part number/price as I'd like to get the towbar off (previous owner put it on).
Also has anyone got a picture of where their centre pipe meets their down pipe/cat on a newage so I can make sure that things are ok at this end?
Cheers!

And again for a Saturday afternoon, just the part number or details on the exhaust mout/hangar badly needed!
Have emailed a few impreza parts websites but no one's got back to me, surely this can't be something no one knows about![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Will have to make the trip to the local dealer 15 miels away for a chat I think
