Cheers for the update Ben ...a good read as always.

It's not you Ben, it's the cars ….20-something year old cars! Firstly, you're bound to find a few bodges on a car that age, we all make mistakes along the way, and finally some jobs are just an utter pig without the car up on a lift. That exhaust was definitely on the comical side. Honestly, what sort of s**t garage would have butchered a cat section to that extent to make it fit? It probably didn't pull the power down as much as you think though. Have you ever watched this? …… https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3vupq0
As for dealing with that exhaust clamp, have you got a set of ratchet spanners? When I got a set (cheap in Lidl!!!) it revolutionised working in certain tight spaces on the car. Looks like one might have made life a lot easier with that clamp. (Am only going by what I can see in the pictures mind, which probably isn't the whole picture).
