  Why do you need this bit Josh? Nothing to say a tail pipe has to be to one side surely?
  
  Surely you just need a longer straight piece and then have the silencer in the middle of the car?
  
  Demon Tweeks and Merlin Motorsport both do exhaust bits - straight sections and 30 degree angles etc... lots of different ones... 2 of the angles put together would make a similar piece...

      What are the benefits of going from twin to a single silencer. What does it do to the sound? I only ask because its something that I had considered. If it is about sound levels have you or anyone fitted a pre silencer? If anyone has whats the outcome in regards to performance and sound levels?

        Josh,
        Hire a pipe bender! HSS will rent you one, meaty enough for up to 2" pipe, for £44/day. Not cheap, but think of saying, "I made that!"
        
        OR, find a fabricator who has one, and ask to use it on his site. This worked for me - I had bought off cuts etc. there before, so I was a known quantity, but people in engineering are often very sympathetic to classic car owners and restorers - many are that themselves!

          Looking in my garage, I think I have this piece you were / are looking for. Got given it to make up the extra length for fitting a twin box system to my Herald, but never used it because there's hardly a straight section in it!
          If you still want it I'l have a look and make sure its the right piece.

          i bought a 45 deg bend and my exhaust exits at an angle, i think the chap who posted a follow up to my msg in August wanted to know whether a twin exhaust is better than a single. i found that the twin exhaust gave less power than a 2" bore straight through to a single back box. i think the problem with the twin is where it splits in to 2 the gases effectivly hit a wall then splits off in to 2. and maybe the fact that the 2 pipes are smaller in diameter
