Doug, I hope you didn't pay a fortune, as Simply Performance offers them in better quality out of stainless steel for like £150/piece IIRC.
My old factory ones were so bad, they fell apart upon removal... Factory non-cat downpipes... Dreadful. The pipe into the exhaust manifold isn't even welded to the pipes. It is just a press fit and with time loosens itself...

Paid £134 for the pair, including 4 new donuts/olives.

great find Doug,, i was looking to find some but no such luck!
so i made some up close to what you have , but much longer, for custom side pipes, my diameter is 2 1/2" OD, to fit full flow mufflers, and final outlet 5" OD.
yes probably overkill but didnt want any backpressure! hard to see but left side runs under convertor area, ALL 12 cylinders out the right side!
Hey if it dont go fast , make it sound like it does!! i get a lot of remarks about the sound.

Gah! I looked at SNG many times and never saw them. Maybe because I was seaching under Jaguar part numbers?
Oh well, I couldn't have afforded them at that price anyway.

Ive been meaning to ask you about clearance and routing of your pipes. Got any pics underneath? I’m considering a pair of sidepipes and have been trying to reason out the routing.
It seems unavoidable ( and desirable ) to have them exit right past the wheel well, but that’s also a nice spot to scrape or crush when the tire drops off any lip, pothole, or speed bump. Do you have any issues or do you just drive around such things?
Im considering perfing through the very bottom of the rear of the fender and keeping the pipes bottom edge just below the level of the cars lower edge. Lots of room by the lower sill to fit 3” plus their covers. Doors would just clear the top of the covers. But more work and money that way. Do you have any ground clearance issues?
