first up a view of the 'Y' piece

de Dion in the foreground looking towards the front of the car (exhaust flow coming towards you). The pipe on the left is the original one, original size and in almost the original position. The silencer that's cut off is the one that's out of shot over to the left, at the very back of the car. The clampy thing is just that, and the original hanging points (used to be just behind the silencer and visible in the last photo in this post) are used on that side. Check out the brill welding by PO on the diff support thing..
After splitting, the pipe goes across the car quite high above the de-Dion:

It's got to go high or the de Dion elbow connectors hit it with fatties in the back. In it's current guise it's about an inch and a half from the body at the top there, miles away from the diff and brakes, and has been tested with two 20 stone chaps in it and all is good.
the 'new' side goes round the bottom of the boot like so :

it doesn't get remotely warm in the boot even after idling after a long run. The clamp is holding the thing up and is bolted to something that was there already, maybe something suspensiony with spare threads, I can't remember but I can check.
It's tucked up as high as it will go on this side, the read valance is slightly different in that it doesn't have a 'dent' to let the pipe out.

this hits the body if the idle is bad and the car is very shaky, but is otherwise fine. There's an aluminium heat shield attached to the battery box to stop the battery getting warmed, as it runs about half an inch below the battery box. Other people who have done less 'thrown together to see if it works' systems have lifted the battery box up a bit to fit a silencer in there instead of the single still in the system.
The whole thing is made from bits of pipe that are about the same diameter as the thinner part after the front silencer.
It's been sleeved with a cocktail bar leg for chrome-y goodness.

It sounds great. Classic head turning V8 burble round town, and a monstery roar when going for it. Caused a couple of people to jump a little at Beamish when I started it up.
