Well I found the pipe bender today 8) and thought I better get on and start the exhaust system
Image
As I want to run twin pipes all the way,I made a centre section that went over the rear axle ready for the back boxes
Image
And got them in place with 1 down pipe made just one more to go
Image
And these are my back boxes :D

Thats one of them (passenger side) :lol:

Nicks look a bit better fabbed - but then he had a flange (bought of the shelf?) If I were doing mine again I would use a single long flange (well make one) because mine distorted during welding so had to chop and weld when I thought I had finished!
