The pipe is attached to the elbow with a jubilee clip depending on the orientation it can be difficult to access however you can remove it with the elbow still attached. The elbow is attached to the front panel with a bolt

Be careful when refitting so you don't damage the O rings I'd fit the elbow first and then the pipe so you can have the jubilee in an accessible position.

Well, I did it, 30 minutes from start to finish. I will test drive it tomorrow morning, if I haven't fitted the jubilee clips properly what symptoms will I get?. Many thanks for all the help and advice and how-to. John.

Well done for getting it fitted.
If the clips aren't tight enough the pipe will pop off resulting in a drastic loss of power and masses of black smoke out the exhaust. Apart from that nothing.

Carry a screwdriver or socket just in case but I'm sure you'll be fine.

Thanks Wullie, We live in a small sheltered flat, so every spanner, tool, nut and bolt is carried around permanently, because 'er indoors won't let me store them in the flat. Thanks. John.

A thing I have noticed is the new pipe is extremely close to the fbh exhaust, will it be okay?. John.

After fitting the new pipe we went to Llandudno for a day out yesterday and the difference was striking, much more power and pulls like a train. Many thanks to all who helped and advised. John.
