Were is the best place to have the Exhaust end out (back,side,over the axel dump) /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif I hope to be Crawling and running trails any Clearence issues with one or the other?? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
 
yea, does it matter? im putting a new dual exhaust system on my rig and was wondering this same question.
 
I have mine straight out the back. I can really smell it when the rear window is down, but not with the top off. the tailpipes are protected by the receiver hitch.
 
Since you want to wheel it w/out snagging on your exhaust, run it up inside the frame rails and dump it right at the rear axle. Have the shop turn the exhaust dumps down and out so to speak. This will help keep exhaust from coming back in through the back of the tailgate and liftgate area. I didn't do that and I sure wish I had. I will be putting on a rear wind deflector to keep the exhaust from coming in the back of my '74.
 
or if you wanna get fancy instead of a down and out dump you can cut and trim a hole in the rear quarter panel behind the tire and have it poke out there. Saw it on trucks and it looked pretty sweet.
 
Only if you don't mind exhaust fumes coming in the back. If you have a wind deflector it won't be as bad, but if you don't you'll asphyxiate on the fumes /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Yeah, like shane said. You won't be able to drive with the rear window down...
 
hell...whats exhaust???? run wide open.....JK i run turn downs over the rear axle so no mud goes inside the muffler whether ur spin in foward or reverse...
