Hi guys, decided to do a Dinitrol top up and repaint the chassis taking care of any surface corrosion before it causes any harm and noted the exhaust centre pipe was a bit shot so opted to buy replacement while it was off to get good chassis access and to save it getting plastered in chassis black anyway.
Anyway, after having a look I decided I would fit the later type exhaust so I could potentially fit a rear tank in the future.
So I bought the ESR4526 which is the centre silencer and the pipe that runs from that over the axle and out.
I note that all non-cat exhausts were a ESR2297 so I figured, great all looks fine, that will fit.
Now the chassis hangers are not the issue, they are "close" if not spot on and I don't mind making up some hangers but the issue is where the centre silencer wants to sit, squint for starters and too low looking (photo below shows it VERY low but that's because it was unsupported, but it is well below the chassis rail which just looks wrong - all I can see is chassis then a big chunk of silencer - going to smack stuff for sure off road.
Can anyone confirm how it looks - I will be doing some serious Googling as well.
Here are some shots from under my 90.
