Hi Adrian...
I have the same unit in my 345 and am just revamping it, so getting familiar with it.
The silencer is a single unit, with the 2 up-pipes that slip OVER the pipes you talk about, and are clamped.
The outlet is rearward and centered, has a short pipe that drops into a spark arrester, that is needed or required over here..
This is what it should look like installed...
The support bar attaches to a bolt on the crank case.
Or this one before I cleaned it up, note the spark arrester mounted downstream...
Or if you look up my thread titles Manuals, you will find a link to Smokestak, and in the Kohler section, you will find the service and instaltion manual, which has great diagrams!
PM me if you have any trouble or questions!
