Has anyone from the LCB collective fitted one of these? Link here :-

If you have one of these exhausts on your car, please can you check the longitudinal distance (along the car length) from the rearmost downpipe to
where it exits the bodywork. Just want to check I have sufficient room to fit one.
As ever, your help will be greatly appreciated.
You may also want to check whether the exhaust will pass through your chassis as I don't think the exhaust will fit a standard Locost Chassis
without modification. The Tiger chassis has a different design to a Locost. The result is that whereas the Locost chassis has a diagonal brace in
the area next to the exhaust (TR1 on the attached diagram), the Tiger one has a more triangulated design which gives the necessary clearance for the
exhaust. Of course you could always alter your chassis by copying the Tiger design.
This link will show the Tiger Chassis design;

Which can be compared with the Locost design as shown here;

^^^^^As above it won't fit a standard "book" chassis and that includes an mk as it passes right through a diagonal brace.
If your building the chassis you can work round this.
Guys, thank you both for your practical comments. Looks like it'll have to be a tailor-made exhaust system. Which is do-able. At a cost (and it won't be "lo"!)
Just a thought but if you've got an exhaust manifold for a xflow then you might be able to use this. The spacing on the individual pipes is
different for the xflow but I understand that they are not too far off. Exhaust manifold flanges are available on Ebay - this one is from Retro Ford.
