MUFFLER BRACKETS QUESTION

[epiantedosi]

MY MUFFLER BRACKETS (THE ONE THAT BOLTS TO THE MUFFLER) ON MY 03 LEMANS ARE DIFFERENT. ONE IS SMALLER THAN THE OTHER IS THIS RIGHT? OR DID SOMEONE IN ITALY MAKE A MISTAKE ?

Depending on model and year, many are different right-to-left to accomodate the driveshaft and bevel drive. You might've also noticed that the right-hand muffler is farther outboard than the left. My stock right-hand bracket had a dog-leg in it while the left-hand one was straight, but I replaced 'em on both sides with custom fabbed ones to accomodate a Stucchi crossover. Without differences between 'em, there can be clearance problems.

2000 V11 Sport: The right bracket is cranked out a lot further than the left one for the reason Ratchet states. In fact, the V11 has a lot of asymmetric features.
