Hi All, I'm currently fitting the 'early' exhaust system to my Series 1 XJ6 and the fit and finish seem to be very good. That said I come across an issue with the rear muffler. The rear muffler support rod that slides into the rear hanger seems to be short, or in the wrong position. I have fixed the issue by moving the hanger back 80mm! Has anyone come across this issue before?

I'll get a couple of pictures up later.

when I rebuilt the exhaust system in my XJ, I found British Leyland resonators and the two mufflers I found equivalents locally. The original over the cage pipes I sent to Jet-Hot Coatings for their ceramic coating and also replaced the Y pipe with a Euro pipe which was also coated.

But I installed a Bell system in my '65 S type and had no issues with it, everyting fit perfectly.

 

 

I installed the Bell system in my 1972 XJ6 Series 1 and found the same issue. Seems like the welding spot is off by about an inch or so.
