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.

Exhaust(ing) Time

 I have opted for the unbalanced system  so comprises of 2 straight pipes with a cat down to the rear axle 

seemed to be straight forward and fitted easy .

Put the A clamps on the top to help with ground clearance

The silencers also seemed to be easy as they just slot on the ends of the pipe and the cherry bombs on the back of that 

Only problem i have now is the dvrs side is straight but the passenger side is pointing outwards 

Enough for today time for a beer and a think ( and Steve's input ) 

+++++++++++++++++++

Update silencers went back to GD as one of them was not quite right when put back on the jig 

That should help to square things up (hopfully )
