Ryca makes a special angled chromed adaptor for stock header to that muffler , think it's about 50 bucks + shipping or make your own. RYCA adaptor makes it a bolt on thing , real easy !

I bought the long RYCA muffler and their rear sets. Using the stock head pipe, the brake pedal hits the exhaust. Bought one of the RYCA angled adapter pipes. Took a bit of savagery to make the adapter fit both the head pipe and the muffler, but once I got that done, the rear brake pedal clears.
Used a muffler expander thingie and some grinding and sanding. Probably a bit of production variations on both the stock head pipe and the RYCA parts.

As per the RYCA instructions it's nessasary to trim end of header pipe and then get proper angle by twisting adaptor to gain clearance for brake pedal and brake rod behind muffler. As I recall it was tuff to get it to clear both. Then i found a header & muffler on eBay that I had make brackets for ,shortened muffler and made a new repackable core.

I cut the head pipe as per instructions, but still had to engage in some brutality to make the pieces play nice together.
In the end it was worth it.
'Just bolts on' is to be treated with as much faith as 'I don't think I'm contagious' ;)

I think I trimmed the adaptor too before I got it all to fit but it wasn't a big deal. Then I found my 2" header & muffler on eBay !

One size fitsall. Universal.

Yeah, and how old were we when Santa and the Tooth Fairy stopped being real?
Universal, fits Something right, everything else, poorly, if at all.
