[TR] TR2/3 exhaust pipe.

I bought that rear pipe from Moss and it does hang down, it has to to clear
the rear valance of the body.  The correct hanger bracket keeps everything
aligned just right.

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.
Angelo Graham
