They're VERY gay and prone to offroad damage. The problem is the balance pipe. If it's too far from the manifold it will run like crap TBH. Try to mimic the stage 1 system as far as the front to centre pipes go. Then do your own thing, a lot of people use the PTO hole in the rear crossmember for the tailpipe exit place.

Luke has a side pipe and looks none gay.
I defer to Alb's wisdom on balance etc I wouldn't know but there are plenty none V8 LR's with side pipes. Maybe it's all in the manifolds  :

Side-pipes...The unmistakable fingerprint of gaysexuals and Yank truck wannabes.

i did that and all the fumes from the exhaust ended up inside the cab with the rear canvas rolled up, ended up putting it out the side and that sorted it.

i must disagree there,
andy the landy should come along any moment and post pics of the antichrists exhaust.
tucked right up out of the way, and exits out of the side. |

Got no pics to hand, all on a disc somewhere. But Mark Yellow did a mighty fine job on the Antichrist  Well out of the way and exits at the side. Tucked up so well that the sill had to be removed for the pipe to exit. Plenty pics on here somewhere if you can be arsed searching for them

It's a piece of piss really although much easier if you use one of the purpose made front Y pieces, what manifolds have you got?? It's easiest with early RR ones with the single downpipe from each side. You can't really copy the Stage 1 system as the engine sits much further forwards in those and on a 88 the bellhousing crossmember will be in the way.
I'll take some pictures tonight if I remember but both downpipes swoop down under the crossmember, join just behind it and then runs over the gearbox cross and away to whatever you want to do for the rest.
Steve Parker or Jake Wright will sell you a new system but they aren't cheap

If you've got standard LR V8 downpipes they aren't gonna be much use I'm afraid, unless you are good at fabricating of course.
An off the shelf system from Parker is knocking on the door of £300 I think might be worth putting a wanted ad about the forums. I got mine for £20

How early a Rangie would the pipes and fanymoulds be off?
I know a guy with a scrap Rangie who has the pipes and whatnot doing nowt - it was an early efi so would they be any use? If they are, they are available free, gratis and for nothing (subject to me trogging down country)

Do these help?, it`s on a lightweight but it shows how the pipes are routed under and over the crossmembers.

If its the manifolds which both head backwards then they'll fit, the later 4 into 2 cast jobbies won't.
Not sure on the changeover point, but Hotwire ones are definitely the later type. Flappers are prolly the earlier type.
You've most likely got 127 downpipes. 101 ones are completely different. Thr left hand one is about 4 feet to the T, whilst the right hand is nearer 6 feet.
