Interesting enough, but the opposite of the thread title.
Nevertheless, I'm interested as to how it will fare road clearance-wise with the two pipes not split when they go around the differential area. The factory split the twin pipes at that point - providing a double cutout in the forward diff crossmember and two hanger mounting points - in order to allow the maximum vertical clearance:
At the risk of appearing a bit thick, still not sure what you mean, I've modelled it on CAD and will get a welder I know to weld it up (it's designed around standard bends, so no tube bending involved, is that what you mean?).
Probs be much the same as the Fujitsubo in that regard, not planning on doing any rallying so maybe not a huge problem.

I have a strange set-up on mine, which I'll go take a picture of. I think from memory both pipes go under the diff ...
This is leading me to think I might update the whole thing. Thing is, I want to keep the standard manifold. I don't know why - I just do - and I even bought Woody's header! But that looks nice hanging on the wall anyway.

Thats the newer one that tucks up a lot tighter than the first version(which they had on sale for 20ish years!).
have you copied one of theirs directly or is it 'in the spirit of'?

thats a smart move.

The (new) Fujitsubo Legalis is very well packaged, and I would imagine it has taken a lot of time for them to get it to fit so well. The factory twin pipe system's shape and routing - in contrast - is very likely much more forgiving and tweakable for individual fit (I can attest to this, having an original factory system on one of my cars) so I'd be nervous about getting a one-off made in the same routing/packaging as the Fujitsubo system. Might need quite a lot of tweaking.
Very much in the 'spirit of'.
It'll be made in sections, downpipe front section,centre boxes, rear pipes, rear box and tweaked as neccessary.

On thread, making the rear fit as the factory designed would be a great way to do it, and fairly unique.

Mine is a funny one. Badly welded brackets and a bit low - seems to be quite a way more under the diff than it should be I think ...
Looks to have glasspacks in the middle and no silencer after that - those to pipes run to the back.
I think Sean's system only works with headers ...

Wow, that looks LOUUUUUUD!!!

It's a fair while since I had the engine running and I don't remember it being loud at all, certainly not compared to the system I had on my fastback. It has the standard factory manifold.

Falsehoods and corrections. Both down the same plughole.
Meanwhile, check out the parallel 'Exhaust Options' thread for top class 'Bantz' being given a free pass.
Ah 'uck what did I miss.

Some useful stuff from Alan. Stuff from Sean. a few other bits.
Old men calling each other baldy bains isn't even bantz far less top class bantz.
