Hi again,
Okay it's done. Double exhaust fitted and looks a lot nicer :-) Eventually just supported the back end of the car and took the subframe out, which b.t.w was pretty easy. (see Youtube video for: "Ford Focus Subframe Removal", almost identical to a V40). It's easier not to disconnect the brakes cylinders, just hang them up out of the way on the shocks = no brake bleeding.

Don't forget to fit new/larger insulation sheets above the rear damper and buy correct exhaust support rubbers so it's got clearance all around. Found a scrapyard R design rear diffuser and fitted a towing bar as I was busy in that area...


Having said this... it is possible to just cut the old exhaust on the straight section just forward of the subframe and connect it to a rear double piper which you cut off at the same place. Join them together with a sleeve/muff. Have fun!
