Hi Richard.
I have the factory-fitted original AR Sports exhaust on my 2014 3.7 Roadster, which has oval silencers - which I think may be slightly shorter than the normal ones, but with longer exit pipes – so they fitted nicely on the rear mountings with just the one clamp on both sides.
I asked a few Morgan dealers what I would need to change to a side exit system as I was getting exhaust fumes in the car. One agent told me I’d need new silencers and tailpipes at a cost of £870; another quoted me £1600(!); and Librands wanted £700.
Sod that, I thought. There must be a cheaper alternative.
Because the silencer exit pipes are long enough, I was able to have them shortened by a couple of inches to allow angled side exit tail pipes to be fitted, and still use the original chassis mountings.
Total cost: £120. And that included having extension pieces welded to the original, now redundant, rear sections so that I can very easily restore the exhaust to original spec if need be.

I had the work done by JAC Exhausts in Hucknall, Notts. (
www.jacexhausts.co.uk ) The work took him a couple of hours or so while I waited, and I can’t fault the service, quality, or the price!
The exhaust note has lost some of its base tones, but it still sounds quite throaty, and surprisingly, it’s no noisier than it was, and it’s certainly solved the fumes issue.
All of the above may be of no use to you, but if you have a local exhaust fabricator I'd suggest having a word with him to see if he could fabricate something for you, as it must be possible to make either an extension plate, or to weld a bracket to your new tailpipe to fit on the original bracket.
