Could you share your save file here so people could check if there's some other issue with the car?

I had that problem sometimes, but haven't had it happen in a while. I messed around with it on your save and got it to stick once, but then it did that thing where it thinks it's attached and bolted on, but it just falls right off when you re-stick it on after loading the save.

I think tightening the back end of the exhaust first, then tightening it onto the engine helps, but I'm not sure that it's a reliable solution.

Your alternator was also a bit buggered up, but pretty decent setup you got going. I did a bunch of donuts in your car

I also checked the save file, it looks tad corrupted to me, I assume you've used some MSC savegame editor?

Could be the lack of muffler too, I've never tried to keep the exhaust pipe there without one.

Like Loosely Affiliated Guerrillas mentioned, your alternator is loose, so is the bolt on FR spindle, neither of them affects the exhaust pipe though. I've notified the dev about this thread, maybe he can take a look at it.

I have only changed the amount of money not using MSC Savegame.

Hi! I tested your save and there is some sort of bug I guess. I do not know what causes it to fall at load, it installs correctly and all the bolts and tightness are ok.

This is just pure speculation, but there could be something where during load some other object is colliding the exhaust at the same time that the exhaust tries to attach itself. If you want to test something, you could do so that you take the car away from the garage and front yard, then install the pipe and save the game. I might try that myself at some point.

I never had habit to save the game when the car is INSIDE the garage, so the reason might be in that scenario. Or then not, I just do not know. But I can try to make another solution for the exhaust installation.

I haven't had my exhaust pop off on loading like that in a while, but I have no clue what has been preventing it. It does seem like some sort of immediate collision that jars it loose.

I didn't save it in the garage the first time I found it like that I had it on the driveway. I will try to find the muffler and put that on to see if it helps. I have also tried removing the warning triangle from the car since thats the only moviable object that isn't screwed in by bolts and it didn't change anything.
