Sj lwb exhaust

Got a lwb sj and bodged up the failing exhaust a couple of times for the mot and it ended up a side exit thats too loud now, it's running the 1.6 vitara engine so is there anywhere that supplies a stainless large bore exhaust off the shelf, I know it's a big ask!

Re: Diff help

This is the old set up, where should this spacer be, does it offset just the crown wheel or the actual case?
