Jason72 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Does anyone have the exhaust exit in front of rear wheels? Pics? What muffler and how is it with the windows down? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I personally don't like them like that. Usually hang to low for my taste, not a big fan of side pipes on our cars either. They have their place on some, but not ours. Just my opinion from an old exhaust guy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason72 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 I track my car, you can see my thread in modifiers-pocono raceway. I have 3 inch exhaust and with all of the suspension mods in the rear there isn’t much wiggle room for the tail pipes. If I have to make suspension adjustments I usually burn myself on the tail pipe. My car is lower than usual also. That is why I asked for muffler type also. I can possibly modify my current muffler to tuck up under the car better. Then I was thinking of a 1 1/2 inch x 6-8 inch rectangular exit at the pinch weld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Back in the 80's I had mine exit right before the rear tires. I had to use smaller diameter exhaust than I would have liked to get it up tight. Car was jacked up in back so where it exited had I had some room, with your car be lower it would be tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason72 Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 So I took the time to fab up some exhaust pipes to exit in front of the wheels. Went from 3 inch pipe flares out to 2x10 rectangle and then to 1 1/2 x 12 . Still have 5 1/2 inch to the ground. My headers are 5 inch from the ground and my rear sway bar is 4 3/4. https://youtube.com/shorts/Jq5a8KgpRFk?feature=share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Nice job on the fabrication. They kind of blend into the bottom of the rocker panel. Do they rattle under the car? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason72 Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Thanks. No they do not rattle. I kept 1/4 inch between then and the frame and the rocker pinch weld. Also installed a hanger just inside the frame rails and at the rear of the muffler. Engine has solid mounts so the exhaust doesn’t move to much.

DragCat Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Nice fab work 👍My concern as with your original question "how is it with the windows down?" Back in the day I dropped the exhaust in front of the rear axel, sitting at a stop light the fumes came inside 🙃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason72 Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Yesterday I took it out for a good spirited blast to get the coating on the tops hot so it would cure properly. I had all 4 windows down. Sat at 2 stoplights. Didn’t notice anything but I will keep alert for that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
