Exhaust (Hokey Cokey) o

After much deliberation  still couldn't get the exhaust to fit always seemed to be the left side sticks out more than the right 

nearside sticking out 

After measuring everything found that the only difference was the  pipe marked nearside was 37mm longer than the drivers side.

After  a call to Andy he told me this is for the off set of the "V" engine (which makes sense) but should only be 20mm !

This all started to fit in to place now as when i fitted the pipes one of the pipes stuck though the rear mounting 18mm more than the other one .

Confident i cut off 17mm off the pipe at the cat end ( didnt want to touch the other end as there is a kick welded into the pipe .

pipe marked with masking tape to get level cut 

Now it all fitted and was level  my next issue was the drivers side was further out than the other  resolved this by notching the back plate to allow me to slide the exhaust over 


Driver side notched to slide over 

Finally all fits and level  just need to witness mark it all and then take it down once again to apply exhaust sealing paste but that's for another day.
