Default Tail tidy, high level exhaust and indicators - problem?

Im buying a tail tidy for my sv, however im thinking the exhaust might by in the way of the indicator.

Whats your thoughts and is there a way round it if its a problem?

Im buying mini indicaters for the tail tidy.

Thanks

Doesn't look like the indi will fit in there with that big plate. And if it does it will be a bit hidden by the can.

Stubby the can or get an undertray with built-in indi's

Most of which are illegal due to the requirement for a certain minimum spacing of indicators...

Sorry to hijack the thread but does this mean indicators built in the rear light are illigal?

Yep they are - as well as usually useless to the person behind you.

Most of them are not very bright and the colouration in certain light conditions can make the brake light and indicator look very similar.

From the VOSA pdf

Front indicator
Amber
2 max
Min height 350mm
Max height 1200mm
Min distance apart 240mm

Rear indicator
Amber
2 or 4 max
Height as front
Min distance apart 180mm
Max 300mm from rear

On that logic indies on mirrors are illegal (over 1200mm high).
Also mine must be illegal as I've 4 front indicators, 2 on the mirrors and 2 side repeaters.

As for the OP, EDIT: just seen the side view pic you posted. You'd be better off measureing it first cos yes, its going to be bloody close.
