[TR] TR2/3 exhaust pipe.

[Angelo Graham]

Hello List:
Just finished up re-installing an exhaust system in my '2 project. I 
tried to duplicate the original (?) system I found on the car. Didn't 
have a resonator. I used a stainless tube muffler and had the rear pipe 
bent up to try to duplicate the rusted rear pipe. I thought the 
replacement muffler a bit small, but it is not straight-thru; doesn't 
sound too bad, with only a rasp when backing off.
My question concerns the rear pipe. My new pipe hangs down below the 
rear frame rail by a couple of inches. Have tried twisting the pipe to 
re-orient it, but can't reduce the clearance significantly. I had the 
original pipe duplicated, but not sure about how the system should look 
with respect to the rear frame rail. What about other 'original' cars? 
Does the rear pipe hang below the rear frame rail? Have to clear the 
rear of the car, so I'm assuming some bends are required.
Thanks for any help with this.
