After some discussion with my enduro riding/ bike salesman son, I've decided against cutting 100mm of the YZ silencer. (Power & noise issues I'm told)
We sat down with all the parts, holding them in various positions, with panniers on & off to determine manufacture of various brackettry etc.
The current plan is, to mount the silencer first & then modify or build a new pipe (stainless of course) between the end of the header pipe & YZ silencer.
Attaching to the main mounting bracket, the one with two rubber mounts under seat, will a have cut down piece of 50mm x 25mm RHS (one 25mm side taken off) & a piece of flat welded in the end, where the mounting bolt should be located. (Pictures once it's all built prior to assembly).
All this started with building some pannier brackets for the DR
