Stainless steel exhaust components got delivered, and attractiveness of exhaust build appeard my higher than filler work on the rear clip :laugh:. The custom build 8mm flanges fit perfectly - a good starting point for the day. Positioning of the silencers was next, mounted on a bracket, bolted to the gearbox (the 01E shows three free tapped holes in an ideal position), fig 1. The front right attachment is shared by the gear change rod, I like that. Also the rear view looks ok, fig 3.
In preparation for the exhaust build, I spend endless time on looking to www exhaust systems in the last days, and in theory, everything about piping was crystal clear in my head, until I was standing beside the car with elbow tubes in my hands :shocked:.
Anyway, after some time, first elbows got welded to the flanges, fig 2, and I am quite optimistic to manage the bundle of snakes ...
Mord to follow,
Udo
