That blows, hardly worth claiming for mirror I expect, probably cheaper to buy a whole door from a scrap yard

Yeah, oval pipes is what I was suggesting, front to back.

So there's no room at all under the car? How deep do the subframe connectors sit?  There's always a way. Can you get the car up on a 4 post to have a proper look?

It's probably worth finding out exactly where the cross over should be by using the wax crayon method.  Once you now that you can actually make it where it needs to be.

Have you thought of going to a rear exit exhaust, I imagine that you could run 2 flat ovals ticket up beside the subframe connectors, cross them over behind the trans, then bring them both over the axle where you could use a larger muffler.  

This would probably require some bending but you could easily mock it up with tack welds and slits under the car.  You may even find someone selling plastic oval that you can use for mock up.  

You can get the whole lot coated so it won't cook anything under the car too, that's probably an ideal solution.

And after another year I've still achieved the sum total of the square root of duck all :(

I even sold the headlights off it to some French bloke, took them off and sent them out but didn't bother fitting the new ones :(. I did finally buy a cervinis cowl hood though, only a 1 1/2 inch rise as it just for looks, looks lovely all pallet wrapped in the garage!

it looks like you've got at least 2 stall points in there where the gasses will just be pounding in to a flat wall.  

Could you not at least open up the oval and weld in some angled baffles to help the gasses turn.  It looks like you're going to end up with a huge build up in the box with the pressure of the engine having to force it down the side pipes rather than it flowing at all.

Have you considered the distance of the "H" from the headers?  It looks awfully close.

I don't know what the underneath of your car looks like to be fair but I would have thought that the headers could reduce to 2 lengths of flat oval pipe, to about the tail of the trans.  A flat oval cross could be fairly high at that point as the tail is narrow and then the rest could exit as an where there's space over the axle.

Or is the compromise because you want the side pipes?

just playing devils advocate,

are you sure the exhaust isn't overheating because of all the U bends?
#83
ah

where are the exits going?

Hang on two ticks.... I'll ask my mate, I know he's looking for one
#89
So the headers will be firing in to the ends of the oval or in to the front edge of it near the ends?  Or opposite the exits?

I could try I guess, got no idea where to start. One of those cash for gadgets type places have offered £370 so any more than that would be an epic win :)
