my exhaust I just pulled off was all the way back against the bumper. turned and went out the side. was tucked up real close to the body up above the the bumper low point. I'll send you some pics since they are on my phone.

A little, but I did say it made it a little quieter; which was on-topic. Or maybe you're saying that your post is off-topic. shrug

I'll try to snap a picture tonight.


I was referring to my request for pics. Sorry for the confusion.

I was kinda kidding alleged about the hijack.

Here's a couple pics. I wanted my exhaust shop to tuck it with the downward turn and dump it behind the wheel. But he thought this would be better. It looks small, but it is 3".

Sorry for the lateness, been busy with work.

I can do better pictures when I can get it out of the garage. Granted, I haven't done any really tough trails since I did it, but I haven't dinged it yet. I don't think Chris has either. And his has been like that for a lot longer. It kind of reminds me of the tucked dual exhaust of the big block '60s Galaxies...

Thanks, that is about where mine used to be. It might be my only option.

Toolman, that is along the lines I was thinking, but I think they need to be even higher. I'll bet any trail rated 5 of 10 or higher will have a high potential of damaging that. But with a fuel tank that takes up all the space between the frame rails, it makes it tougher to route.

There is, however, a third option: :laughing2:

Hers mine, obviously hasnΓÇÖt been an issue as there are so many other things to smash before i hit the exhaust. ItΓÇÖs 3ΓÇ¥ I believe and not many issues with fumes if I keep both windows closed or open both when I run the enclosed top. Gets a little bad when I have one window open and enclosed top closed up.

Well I finally finished my exhaust completely. Im happy overall with my muffler choice. Routing sucked around the 4 link. It is as loud cruising as it is at idle. I can actually hear the stereo now going down the highway. Muffler is a Flowtec warlock turbo muffler.
