Default Cosworth 4wd - 2wd conversion.... Exhaust Systems

Now then....

The learning curve just doesnt tail off does it?!

Ok so my car has had a 2wd conversion by the previous keeper.
The exhaust on it was a Scorpian 2WD which through personal preference I changed to a mongoose.

Now I thought (and had been advised accordingly) that the 4wd will fit the 2wd, but not the other way around. So installed my exhaust.... fit is TERRIBLE - fowls the gearbox and causing an awful vibration now

Was I mis informed?! Thinking at this rate, im going to have to change systems again... or have the pipe modded?

Any light?

I am soon (He says lol) changing mine to 2wd and been told by Richie that my 4x4 system will fit fine cause it's technically routed around the front prop/transfer box so shouldn't foul anything.

Thats what I have been told and it makes all logical sence that it would.... but not on mine. Im geeting worried that either I have an issue... either with the gearbox or.... the turbo exhaust housing???

Is there any difference in the engine mounts.. I have been told if 2wd is sat on 4wd mounts that it sits slightly higher which causes vibration on front pipe .. How much truth is in this I don't know
