This post reminded me that I'd recently kludged together my Syncro's
exhaust. When the bolt holes finally rust away on your "Y" collector and
it's midnight on a Saturday and you've just got to get there...

I used a couple of angle brackets and a muffler clamp -

-and even though it's probably good for another ten or fifteen years, does
anyone have a good used collector to sell?
