How old's the torpedo & swan-neck? Separating those sliding exhaust joints can be a RIGHT pain...

I have one, and aside from the odd blast of exhaust gas into the cabin if the door is slightly ajar its not problematic.

Like all the previous posts, I've run short pipes for the best part of two decades with no problems.

If I use zip ties I assume I wrap them around the rubber hanger? They will melt of that touch the exhaust wont they?

No. The zip tie stays on the outside of the rubber.

Thought so, thanks. Although I may try to do it better and use an additional braket.

I'm running a more extreme version of this, mounted a van backpipe on the the pipe coming from the engine bay, so my 2. silencer is gone, my first silencer also!! But I'm cheating a little bit because it's a turbo engine and the turbo silences the exhaust (a little).

The end of the exhaust is underneath the frontdoor!!!!

You can feel the exhaust blowing but it's to cold to really burn your leg (my opinion)

short pipes down fill up with water causing the second silencer to rust through either. i find.

If you jack the car up and drill a small drain hole ,say 4 or 5 mm diameter ,at the lowest point of the torpedo at the bottom front end of it just before it tapers down into the front joint that problem
(which is condensation ,nothing to do with short tailpipes) is solved.
