Spent today thinking about exhausts but picking old sealant and plumbers mate and removing a leaky side rail.
It was the cause of the damp which happily has dried out now after i gaffer taped up outside. Dug out all old sealant from rail and ran 2 massive thick beads of mastic in the channels proud of the line and also ran a bead of sealant along the panel joins on wall of the caravan before re attaching the rail amd adding a few extra screws where needed. Wiped off excess sealant and ran another bead above and below rail.
Be well shocked if that leaks in next 4 years!
Whilst there noticed more broken screws on main corner rail at front where 2 panels seperated so pumped it full of sealant and new screws all back in place .
Ran out of sealant then so will go over front rail again soon!

Yeah like that, I would probably angle the tips downwards especially as the passenger side will be near the side door

Benefit of side exits...looks aside....less sh*t up back doors ...easier to site boxes as suspension in way if choose rear exit...
Cons... means have to move centre boxes forward bout 12inch ...no major biggie as planning to fit X-pipe into system before centre boxes so can prob incorporate the centre box shift in process...

Reading up on x pipes basically if you got a v6 or v8 they run better with x pipe or h pipe than with dual pipes that arent linked...
Also quieter (bonus) and exhaust note changes too to more of a growl than pulsing...

Gotta order x pipe from eBay and get some 2inch pipe with 90degree bends pulled.
Pipecraft in bas are good. Think last time he cut 1m pipe and pulled a bend in it all for 10 or 15 quid.
Might even get some weld on flanges too and do it properly so no blows on last weld (on van) like last time (couldnt get torch up on top so just fired mig everywhere but the lil hole hahaha) i did however save the exhaust bandages lol
