Exhaust Fitting #2

With the rear arches in place it became apparent that the exhaust was about 5 inches too long. The problem is due to the positioning of my engine, my chassis is non standard to accommodate a larger pedal box which gives more space. The engine is further back than other MNR's.

To make it fit I had to shorten a number of sections and re assemble. Just need to fit the exhaust bracket to finish off.

Exhaust Fitting #1

Bolted the exhaust manifold in to place using hex bolts on the top side where I could gain access and for below used high tensile hex bolts. Fitted new Suzuki exhaust gaskets and bolted in to position. Aligned the joining pipe and the silencer and found that it would not fit.

After a little head scratching, I loosened the manifold bolts and adjusted the positioning to be further away from the body and then created more space for the silencer. Will fit bracket to support after I have fitted the rear arches.

Exhaust Manifold

Spent some time yesterday with Leon on the car. Leon did some work with the Dremmel on the exhaust manifold cut out in the side panel. Good job well done.

Need to get the manifold polished and the finish tidied up.
