My last one I bought direct from dan on here never had issue . Only small trimming to rear runner it's only this one I have . The mercano bracket I couldn't use as not long enough when fitted . It sits the same height as a original taffy exhaust

so is this a jl 3/4 copy?
try removing the two front bolts that hold the exhaust to the bracket slack of the rear tail pipe clamp or remove then see if the exhaust will drop down at the back and up at the front tighten tail pipe up and mark the front holes then redrill or elongate,at no time swinging on the pipe forcing it to fit or it will fracture when in use!

It's as tight as arse holes.
It's taffy copy.
It's sat well low enough without the main front bracket.
But is to low to re-drill the holes. I have already made them bigger with the dremel.
I know its a copy and I sound like moaning tw@7. But the fit is shite.
Don't get me wrong it sound great looks good. But does not fit.

I've spent hrs fiddling about with it trying to get it lower but u cannot . Only other way is get runners fabricated or get short stainless runners and get them painted as I've done but haven't fitted them yet ;) gonna have a go tomorrow

The pics do look low at the front,
