Exhaust Ground Clearance
I have spent ages trying to get my exhaust to fit and so far this is the best i have achieved but i am doubtful of the ground clearance. Is anybody
else's like this? (It's an MK exhaust).
Exhaust Clearance
Exhaust Clearance Underneath
Cheers,
Chris.

You should be OK if you can achieve about 4"/100mm clearance - that should clear most speed bumps.

Doesn't look quite right to me - I wouldn't have thought it should hang below the floor line really.
Does it help to rotate the 4 into 2 into 1 bit?
cheers

Looks a bit low to me. Have you got your engine further back than "standard"?

I did try rotating the 4-2-1 part and it will go another way taking a higher line down the chassis, but then it's angled inboard and pulls the
endcan right into the passenger side badly fouling the chassis regardless of how i rotate the intermediate angled section to re-direct it.
The engine is no further back than standard as far as i am aware.

Due to the angle we had our engine to get the gearbox lower and the remote gear shift completely hidden the tunnel our exhaust was a little lower like
that,
We cut a slice out after the weld on the topside of the 4-1 bent it up and then had it welded again.

Looks too low for my liking.... Ground clearance near the axle's is less of a problem. Exactly half way between the axles is more likely to be a
problem on speed bumps...

You could put spacers under the n/s engine mount or cut it apart and reweld.
looks as if 2 blokes made it and and they forgot to talk to each other.
