im currently in the process of fitting a new exhaust (brought from leeparkes thanks) i knew the exhaust was different as my original system was a single pipe from the centre box to the back box then a single exit. the exhaust i have to fit is a twin pipe and the odd thing is it has a round back box not oval like all the others iv looked at.
i have the centre section fitted but when the back box is fitted it looks to be too close to the NS drive shaft.

does any one know to anywhere that does round rear exhaust hangers?

i think this exhaust may be for a slightly later car. can anybody help?
sorry bout the crap description
cheers Dave

Dave,i see your having problems,
the hangers you can get universal straps from motor spares shops!
the back box being too close to the drive shaft,how close is it?

It sounds daft but is the back box on the right way round? (tail pipes can fit on the centre section)

i know this because when i brought it i joined it up on the patio,and by mistake i connected the tail pipes onto the centre section,and they fit!
