It's a big lump to hang  on just the pipes .. i imagine it's pretty heavy .  I'd weld a  couple of triangular reinforcing plates   from the stubs  to the body of the heat exchanger on the new one  before fitting it. 

There really shouldn't be any weight on the pipes, that's the thing.  There are already two pretty substantial and triangulated brackets onto the back of the silencer.

It looks like the area these attach to is reinforced too.

Fusion Fabs who made my fuel tank didn't seem at all phased by the idea of making up an exhaust back then - though they'd obviously need one as a template.

Yes, you're right ,  i didn't see those . Dez broke it  then reversing into the kerb ..
