I had equally good luck with the Falcon--took about an hour to
install, fit the stock brackets perfectly. At least on the B.
The Falcon for the A was a bit different--the front pipe was a tad too
short (the slit cut in it for compression was too long) and I got a
bit of leakage at the first joint, which I plugged up with tailpipe
goo. That's still holding.
For the TD, it required bending and banging. Still not quite right.
It touches the (unused) clutch pivot that is on the RH side of the
sump, and also leans against the bottom of the side curtain box in the
back. I'll get around to re-hanging it some day. Sure....
