the pipe i got was 3 feet long, but i ended up cutting it and using only 2 ft of it. and to make it fit snuggly onto the cars pipes some persuasion by hammer and angle grinder was required. i cut 4 v-shaped slots at each end (about an inch long) so that the 4 quarters could bend in to form the smaller diameter, then clamped using 57mm exhaust clamps (halfords). and then sealed the leaks with holts gun gum putty/paste and bandage.
and to cut the silencer from the exhaust i also had to remove the mounting brackets and the heat shield (by cutting with the angle grinder) so that i could get as close as possible to the actual silencer box for cutting.

ps. when it comes to buying wheels for the lanos u want a 4x100 stud pattern and an offset between 35 and 40

ah, basically the same as where im getting the vacuum reading from. guess it's just the bigger engine giving higher readings. (ie: causing a bigger vacuum). cheers.
