I believe it's the "Johnson Rod"!
I'm thinking muffler bearings...

Yeah...stainless steel flex pipe. Allows the exhaust system to flex so the manifold bolts won't loosen, and everything else between there and the muffler

Thats it. So by the sounds of it, nothing much to worry about if they have pulled it back to shape. Anyway I will be testing the car tomorrow. Dealer assures me nothing to worry about. Today they are putting the car on the KDS for some other issue FOC just to make sure I remain a happy customer of theirs.

thanks everyone.

cheers

I'd be curious to know how the exhaust got knocked out of alignment
