Just reassembling exhaust system after 4 weeks and didn't previously notice rear hangers that hook into above bobbins are both welded on right hand side of rear exhaust tips. Should these be handed,as I don't know history of car,ie are these original or aftermarket work done. I would have thought the hangers should mount into both bobbins from the inner face of bobbins, ie both hangers welded to inner of exhaust tips. Also I've located the rear pipes behind silencers approx 1" from chassis, would you agree, any known issues being near parallel fuel lines. Trying to attach photos from Samsung tablet but previous no larger than 1000 bytes,warning. Thanks MMC

According to the parts book between Sept 2009 and Feb 2012 the same mid section/tail pipe set was sold for both sides, part MEX1184, although ironically they were identified as handed before and after that period. Since the split bobbin that supports the tail pipe locates on its tang from either side it probably doesn't matter.

Mine are handed, 2005. The rear pipes did change but not clear when. The S1 Roadster has tailpipes with a baffle tube inside.
My Roadster came with a sports exhaust, and that had open rear pipes, and brackets which bolted around the outside. Nowhere near as tidy as the original tailpipes.
I set my rear pipes mid way between the chassis and tyres. I also applied insulated weave the full length of the car around the fuel pipes.

Hi John, your pipes are different to my 3.0 Roadster - mine have baffles inside the pipes - all the way to about 3/4 inch from the outside/exit?
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!
