Sure the length increase isn't something to do with "stretching"? Can't beleive it's heat.

And why does it leak fuel when on the runway?

Interested (not taking the piss)

Fuel tanks expand as well as the airframe when hot. Therefore when it's cold I suppose there must be small gaps around seams and rivets etc.

Going back to the exhaust briefly - mine expands a fair bit in length, this is quite normal. I went to a local garage in maidenhead who were quite happy to jam the exhaust on firmly - when I initially fitted it, I evidently didn't force it far enough on because when hot, the bent section would straighten up on expansion and vibrate against the dif tunnel. If it's convenient for you, I can let you know the garage that I used.

If you are thinking about a Remap but also thinking about downpipes, Get the downpipes first!
