On my corsa my middle pipe knocks I think it is because the car has been lowered. Think it is knocking where the clamp that holds the cat to the middle pipe is. The nuts and thread on the clamps are pointing down. Also I have a omp strut brace but it won't fit on my car now I have a powerbox fitted. DOes anyone know which strut braces fit over the powerbox? Cheers

Are you sure it's your middle pipe knocking, and not your connection to the rear exhaust, that's sitting/laying to close to the rear beam?

As that was my problem, as the middle-to-cat wasn't tighten enough, so made the whole rear part tilt down on the rear beam.

After that it went loose in the rear-to-middle connection, but got that tightened too, and now it almost never touches the rear beam.

Other then that you might want to change your rubber exhaust hangers if they are old and worn. New ones might hold the exhaust much firmer.
