So I had an incident with a speedbump (think that did it anyway) a while back, and since then my exhaust has been hanging quite low.

 

 

When the garage was fitting my catback system a few weeks ago, they noted that the exhaust mount at the front (think it's the gearbox one) was snapped. 

 

So, what part is it that I need for an MPI? I see on Mini Spares theres one for £7 and then a larger version for £3? And is there also supposed to be a support towards the middle of the pipe? Cheers

Quite interested in this thread as I've got the same problem and it's forever scraping on things.

 Sorry I'm not quite sure what you're implying.

looks like a mounts missing somewhere, im not too good on fi minis but if you go on minispares there should be a list of hangers it looks like its a central one thats missing

If I caught a cat under my car I'd give it a kick

Would decat but need it for MOT! And, much quieter on motorways :)

Doesn't look out of the ordinary.  It's that low because there are no mounts near the cat and it droops.  Make sure the mount at the front of the rear subframe is good, and that's all you can do.

Ok thanks, presume the W+P one I linked will work fine? The HiQ guys did comment that I needed a new one

Many MPI Mini's with non standard exhaust have the same issues as yours.

Ok, it does seem to move around a bit when under load too,
