Anyway, I completed the rest of the downpipe, made sure the front mount to the block I made bolts up well, and it does, then I made another mount from the rear of the gearbox to the back end of the downpipe.

ignore the hole in the joint my gas gave up at a vital time, took me a while to realise :cry:
First non welded clamped joint will be from the downpipe to the middle box, as I'm a bit of an amateur at this whole exhaust making malarky can anyone see any problems with that?
Next question is the middle box is a big old boy, and fits in quite snug, the downpipe has no play whatsoever, 5mm if u shake it hard, and whatever the engine tilts when I boot it/let off. Now in some places I may have to ajust the body with my hammer :D , have to see.
Where the box is big, and is well up in the tunnel, there simply isn't enough room for a rubber and hanger with the box in the tunnel, and directly after the box the tunnel gets narrower:

I cant see there being enough room there to get my hanger in either. So I've had a few suggeustions as to how to get a mount in. Any more anyone can think?
Few more pics:

What exhaust system is that btw????
Benns idea looks like it'll work.
A big exhaust clamp around that pipe, then bolted down through a bit of flat plate(the red bit), and then bolted through the car floor with some bolts/nuts, and rubber mounts?
OR dont bother with a mount there?
My exhaust system has no hangers until the middle box twin ones by the fuel tank....
But on your setup it might put a lot of stress on the downpipe joins....
Are you not going to need a flexible join in the system to stop it keep cracking under the engine moving. Like the bolts with the springs on on the standard system?
Just ordered a 6" Flexi from the bay, going to put that inbetween the downpipe and middle box.
Pics of new inlet: Is it ok to run the injector rail the other way round?
So the feed closest to driver, and return closest to passenger?
