Is it definitely hitting the bumper, or is it as is more likely, and hitting the rear beam? If its a knocking noise your getting when driving, its probably making contact with the rear beam.

wat i found worked. was to remove the rear bumper. mark out a small arch where the exhaust sits and trim the bumper back. this will stop it melting.

ad for the knock you will need to manipulate the hangers. sounds a little drastic but vaux had a bad day when they designed the rear hangers for the corsa..

ok sorted this well almost, it was rattling off the bumper but i found that teh rubbers were also causing it to shake like mad as they wernt on properly, so i mounted then in a different hole on the rubber to make it tighter and now thats solved, bumper will get trimed back soon
