Exhaust Idea

Post by Ahzlon »

OK... I got what might be a stupid exhaust routing idea. I have seem some sports trucks around where they have the exhaust exit out of the lower rear quarter panel(s) behind the rear wheels. Now do you think a baja with an exhaust routed the same way would look well... cheezeypoof??

Interesting, I've wondered this myself. It actually makes more sense from an off-roading standpoint. With limited ground clearance and long front/rear overhangs, I've often dragged my rear fascia, hitch, and exhaust through mud and sand. Luckily I have not had any permanent damage yet. By having it exit behind the rear wheel, it would at least move the exhaust to a "safer" place. No idea how you would get a muffler up under there though... [smilie=confuzzled.gif]

I was thinking of making it make a semi sharp turn to the drivers side and exit there. The muffler sits quite high up under the body already.

Check state inspection laws before you go too crazy. In PA the exhaust must exit the vehicle in the stock location/s.

In Vermont, the exhaust has to exit behind the passenger compartment. Lots of guys with pickups put "stacks" on their trucks around her. *not going to do that* THere is a s10 with 10" stacks coming out of the bed. Looks retarded as hell. Just wanted an aesthetics (sp?) opinion from you guys.

I went with a single stack drivers side just under the roll bar.
