Photo request - MK Indy Exhaust mounting

I am looking at fitting the exhaust today. Does anyone have any photos showing proximity of exhaust to rear arch?

I have fitted the manifold but it looks like I will have to trim 20mm off the end, and also trim the connection piece between manifold and silencer to get it to fit.

I remember seeing a photo showing the silencer bolted through the side into one of the diagonal chassis bars? Any photos of this?

Any other advice is much appreciated!


Cheers!

Mines about 75mm away from arch with the outlet pointing below the arch edge (don't want to melt the arch). Nothing hard and fast I think if it looks right it probably is.

A bracket is bolted to the underside of the floor, not through the side keeping the rubber bobbin vertical, which should last longer, but I have seen them fitted from the side.

Thanks, I like the look of that.

Just test fitted mine. Had to cut the silencer down by 30mm!! The silencer seems to sit about 25mm lower than the car though. Is this right??

Can't say if it's right or wrong but anything lower than the bottom of the chassis is less than ideal, having said that my sump is 25mm lower. 25mm is not much but on the end of your nose or on the end of your manhood could make a huge difference.
