Okay, might be a bit of trial and error to get a nice fit then, which shouldn't be a problem.

The bends are just to help channel the pipe around the gear change ect. 
Both of mine needed the same thing when fitting.

I'd advise dry fitting the pipes in place first so you are certain that it will all fit as it is.

Then once you know it all fits,  take it all apart then cake the mating surfaces of the pipes with exhaust paste just to be safe.

It's definitely worth it while you're under it rather than come across a horrible blowing noise when you start it up and only have to get under it to paste in anyway

Hope all goes well :)

 

Thanks for your replies! All fitted now, and is really close to tunnel, may get a new manifold or have them off and try and bend them a bit so that the y piece will clear the tunnel more, 

But it will be ok for now. Cheers

As long as it doesn't vibrate too much :)

Did you get a bracket to brace it to your gearbox?
