Finally got round to making up my side exit exhaust after ripping the standard one off months ago.
I bought a Jetex silencer, a 90 degree bend and a length of straight, all in 2.5" bore.
The silencer clamps straight to the original flexi section which I cut off just before the flexi bit, then its simple a straight run back to the bend and finished with a rolled lip tail pipe which rather strangely came off a lifted 4x4 Transit - it had a nice bend to it which I faced forwards to gain a little more tyre clearance so it should be 33" future proof. I modified the original hanger to take a U-clamp to hang it all. Hopefully Mr MOT man will be ok with it, not sure if it sticks out far enough but I wanted to protect it whilst off road.
I was worried that a single small silencer would be a bit loud but to my surprise its only a tad bit noisier than the original, but gives a nice almost sporty sound.
Anyway, some pics...
