Don't know whether it is normal, but it isn't good.
Noise why, you could always fit a track day silencer that bolts onto the end of the tail pipes. Easily removable as well, for days you want to be noisy.

In Switzerland, I will need the closest possible to the original exhaust. I think that I'll just fix the old one and change it later. Are ACT any good, they are the only manufacturers of exhausts that I've seen on the web...Noise why, you could always fit a track day silencer that bolts onto the end of the tail pipes.

Cat equipped car should have a different hose arrangement my S3C certainly did when first bought. It has now been altered by me but the original route was away from the cat and included a metal pipe
https://tvr-s-series.net/images/downloads/Ersatzte... In the section on cooling refer to the bottom hose and the part labelled 13a / 13b is a section of metal tube. The normal solution in UK is to remove the cats
Thanks for the link. If you look at my photo, the part that is touching the CAT seems to be 12/12a in fact. The CAT is so close to the water pump that I can't see how it could be redirected... https://tvr-s-series.net/images/downloads/Ersatzte...

ACT don't actually manufacture the exhausts, I think they subcontract that out to JP exhausts. (I stand to be corrected on that).
But to answer your question, they are good. Tim, who owns / runs the business is very helpful and very TVR knowledgeable. There are other suppliers of bolt on silencers, I just used that as a link to show what I meant. They are quick to fit or remove and you are running the original exhaust, just with an additional silencer available if someone says it is too loud.

This photo just about shows the original metal pipe arrangement for a cat car It has a U bend at one end as hopefully you can see and then runs outside the chassis to the bottom radiator connection. This takes it clear of the cat if fitted Ignore the second exhaust manifold
