will the exhaust not melt the rubber pipe ? or is it just a very flat looking steel pipe there ?

All the rubber pipes are far enough away from the exhausts I think to stop problems, the pipe is flat as I have a **** pipe bender that crushes the pipe somewhat but it's only water so it doesn't matter too much

ahhh thought it was a rubber one hanging right under the Y pipe just a rather sorry looking steel one then

Yeah just a sorry metal pipe

Exhaust almost done just gotta move some mounts

Are you gonna cut that tailpipe back pal?

It'll defo get swiped there!

Either way it's gonna be SO much more rewarding with the V8 motor!

How's the poor old Rangey feeling these days?

She's sitting in the field around the back just robbed the exhaust off tonight,

She'll get a lovely rebuild in a year or two she's far too good to give away, just needs a nice refurb and turning into a road monster

I wouldn't tune it that much and if you got the revs right just as it hit boost you could manage it be wild though
