Does anyone know how to mount an original exhaust silencer on a 1948 P3? After a long search, I found an original exhaust silencer to replace the defective non-original one. It has two different connecting pipes and flanges. On one side there is a short straight pipe, and on the other side an angled, somewhat longer, and slightly thicker pipe with a slightly larger flange. But which of the two goes on the engine?

I read your post but as I have never had a P3, I thought I wasn't in the best position to reply to you. However, in the apparent absence of something more informative, I thought the attached photo might be of use. It shows the bent piece of pipe being towards the front of the car and the silencer set at an angle.

Hi SHyslop,
Thank you very much for your reply. The photo helps a lot. Indeed, the bent piece points to the front of the car.
