Hi, Mr. Perfectionist here. 
Last night I re-fitted the muffler back onto my Esprit, and I couldn't get the tailpipe centered in the hole in the valence. It's too far to the right. I'm afraid it's going to contact the valence when the drivetrain shakes.
Of course, I can't remember if it was perfectly centered in the past. :facepalm No amount of tweaking the two 17mm mounting bolts brought it into line.
I even tried moving the mounting plate on the tranny that the muffler mounts to...no joy. :shrug:
(This query ONLY applies to '88s. NOT for later Esprits with the Renault transmission that mounted the muffler to the body, not the transmission. And G-cars didn't have the EBPV)
Anyone with an '88 please tell me how centered your tailpipe is. I forgot to take pictures last night, but I'll post one over the weekend.
