Default help mounting mongoose exhaust

My car is a 2WD

and I've got a mongoose exhaust

but stupid question :
mongoose is made of 4 parts : downpipe, little intermediate pipe, intermediate pipe and backbox exhaust

the little intermediate pipe can fit in both way, but 1 side is cut ; the other nothing so I suppose there is a correct position to mount it

with is the correct mounting please ???

You can usually tell by the hangers as it is obvious which way up these should be.

as you can see only 1 side is cut
both side are female jonction


so with side goes on the downpipe and the other one to the intermediate pipe ????

Im guessing here but i think the cut end goes to the down pipe as im sure mongoose know the size of their pipes, so they put cut i the other end to allow for variation in down pipe sizes but i maybe wrong.

Don't see at it matters which way round that piece goes !!!
On mine i have a longer straight at one end which is up by the down pipe for greater clearance of the gearbox.

As long as the exhaust fits together and doesn't foul on anything under the car, it's irrelevant.

yes


it seems mongoose do 3 parts at the beginning :
-downpipe
- intermediate pipe
- rear silcencer


and now :
-downpipe
- S pipe (junction) : the part on the picture
- intermediate pipe
- rear silcencer

perhaps shipping is easier with 4 parts ??
