Exhaust Mounting

My current e30 (325i prefacelift 4dr SE) exhaust hangs very close to the floor (car lowered 60mm) about an inch from the centre box to the floor, so it smacks everything.

I was looking around a friends 325i facelift and his exhaust sits flushly underneath the body of the car. I've always assumed there are 2 mounting points for an e30 exhaust, at the backbox and the bracket of the gearbox on to the downpipe.

Is there a 3rd mount for the centre box or a way of adjusting the height of the exhaust? I will get under and have a look at my friends but figured I'd ask quickly to save getting dirty :)

Cheers

There are 2 mountings on the actual backbox, 1 just in front of it on the pipe and 1 on the gearbox.

I think it also depends on if you have a 2 or 3 piece exhaust.

Which ever it is, you could probably do with just replacing the rubber hangers fir the exhaust as these stretch over time anyway.
