My van came with this exhaust but it seemed a bit crudely held in place with jubilee clips round the exhaust?? Should there be another type of fitting? Does this belong to a bay? Cheers

 
Does look like one for a bay, think bug ones are more V shaped, had a similar one on my old bay and that was held with jubilee clips too for all the years I had it. It'll be fine like that.
 
Cheers for that Dave. Is seemed ok but just thought they would have made something a little better to go with it. I am sure I will find,something.
 
My single quiet pack came with one like this u bolt

But they're a pain to fit, but more substantial if that's what you're after?

Perfect! Cheers Dave.
 
The jubilee clips are only there to stop vibration.

I only know this because the first stainless exhaust I made had a bracket there that failed and the resultant vibration caused fatigue cracks where the silencer attached to its "in" tube.

The thing fell off in the middle of the town of Albi on a busy Saturday, followed by a long and very noisy drive home. All rather embarrassing.
