The aftermarket pipes usually don't line up. The syncros use different brackets and the left one will have the two holes for that support.

Subject: rear exh pipe to engine carrier bracket

Hi,

I'm puzzled about where the little (rust inducing) bracket that is clamped onto the rear cross pipe attaches to the muffler bracket/engine mount.

The bracket is slightly different than the 2wd version. Instead of a V notch and two holes that line up with the holes for the muffler bracket, the 4wd bracket does not have a v-notch and the holes do not seem to line up with the muffler bracket.

ETKA diagram not really helpful, looks like it is supposed to bolt to the muffler bracket/engine mount, but via only one of the two holes in the bracket. But it is not that clear in the diagram. And besides, when I try it the ETKA way the bracket presses against one of the engine mount rubber blocks.

BTW, this is on the lefthand side muffler mount, I believe I am correct that the bracket goes on that one, not the right hand side.

Am I over looking the obvious? Anyone with any pics?

thanks

alistair
