Bike exhaust

[voucht]

Thanks for that Kev. Yep, good tip about the deflector at the rear, I'll do that at the end, thanks.

When in comes to the inlet, I think I will remove the small elbow, and have the tube from the exhaust directly welded on it. I just have to figure out the different angles and have the stainless steel tube bent/weld by someone who has the facility to weld stainless steel (I don't and I won't).

So, the muffler will be mounted on a rubber mount from underneath (I'll use a small 90° bracket on the original clamp mounting point, the horizontal part of the bracket will seat on the top of a rubber mount, which will be bolted on a tab welded under the chassis). But do I need another "soft" point between my manifold and the muffler, or can the line be solid all the way? Does the pipe from the manifold to the muffler need to be supported too, or 1 mounting point on the muffler is enough?

Thanks.
