Is this going to work???

I have an St170 manifold that I'm modifying to fit my Avon. There is very little room to route it as the chassis members are right were the ST manifold needs to exit. If I route it backwards it only just misses the starter, so can anyone see a problem with my routing. It goes forwards and wraps back around the chassis bar, as there is very little room I've worked out the angles and pie cut, then tig'd the exhaust to get a tight enough bend.

I'd say that's quite a neat solution to the problem as long as it doesn't hit anything as the engine mounts flex or overheat the starter (use some exhaust wrap?).
You might end up with pipes that aren't as smooth as mandrel formed but after seeing this this I don't think it really matters.
