And no, the decat can only go on one way... Assuming they're standard flanges.

That's exactly the position I've been in when I did my 4th and 3rd gen exhausts - I still found I could do the front and midle hangers first. And genuinely, I couldn't get the middle hanger on after (originally) fitting the rear hangers first. It did stop me lifting the exhaust high ebough. Although... Thinking about it, what might be one of the critical factors there might be how large the 'hook' on that middle hanger is (how much you have feed over and through the hanger).

Aye Lucas that's it sorted now bud cheers 8-) Was gonna wait to post as its been raining down here so i haven't got under it to check it out and get a pic yet but it's looking good fits nice in the rear lip without rubbing. Mechanic just bent it himself said it didn't need much moving. Sounds nice not too loud without the cat either.

I think it has dropped a little so ill need to adjust it slightly, however it does get red hot and might sit too tight to the lip and cause it to melt so maybe better as it is?

Still raining out the now so ill need to wait to get a decent video done. Can vids be uploaded on here?
