Yep definitely would not get away with leaving that out, that’s a very noticeable exhaust system. Those mount shackles look like the would have been a pain to make
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Hi.
Mr Brute you are very correct it is huge, and the shackles were very fiddly to do, it just took patience to form the styrene card into the correct shape, if you went too quickly it just snapped. 8O
Ledge now added.
