Fellow Subie Transplanters:

I have just ordered the KEP exhaust header for my Subaru engine
installed in our '86 Syncro Double Cab pickup. I intend to use the
standard VW Cat and Muffler with this header. I understand that the Cat
and Muffler assembly should be mounted on the engine to avoid breaking
the header (just like the VW engine setup).

Has anyone done this?

How did you avoid frying the plastic timing belt cover and alternator
pulley belt?
How did you fasten the Cat and Muffler to the engine?

Alternatively, what are your thoughts on hanging the Cat and Muffler
from the body and using a flexible exhaust pipe section between the Cat
and Header?
