For those running full vert, no doors, no tailgate. Where do you have your exhaust exit? How are the fumes? My single 3" dumps before rear axle, diesel fumes are horrible.

full vert exhaust routing
- Thread starter cegusman

Exit in the stock location behind the rear tires out the side.
I have more than one full convertable of different makes and models and unless you have a big trunk back there like a car it needs to be out the side just about anywhere else you can put it puts the exhaust in a low pressure area so the fumes get sucked up into the cab area.
Not full vert but my Jimmy diesel has the exhaust out the drivers side and you can't smell it going down the road. My full vert blazer had exhaust in several places and the best was just the stock location

With a diesel, it's going to stink no mater where you put the exit, sitting still that is. Best place I've read, just after the rear tire exiting to the side.

Ok I will try that. Right now it just consumes you driving at any speed. Get a head ache and light headed a danger to drive.

iv also had that problem after i chopped off the stock pipes coming out the side, now i gotta go get it redone, it was ugly anyways, needs new pipe with bigger tips. the stock pipes looked ridicules
I just put downspouts on my diesel pickups glass packs that dump just past the rear axle tubes,and the smell does get in the cab a bit,especially with the rear slider open while moving...but not enough to bother me all that much--when I first got a diesel VW jetta,I hated the smell of diesel fumes,but after awhile I guess you get used to them...gets in your blood!.........................................................................................................but if I had no worries about passing inspection,I'd just assume put stacks on it ,then I wouldn't get any odor at all,and I like the looks of stacks as long as they aren't outrageously large like stovepipes...............................................................................................I may add a few feet of straight pipe to the mufflers and run the downspouts out the back of the truck--I noticed soot is accumulating on my rear axle tubes and brake lines!..--if I drove it more and further I'd probably have done it already..sometimes pipes sticking straight out the back dont get the fumes away from the truck as much as you'd think though too--.I've had tailpipes that exited in front of the rear wheels on other trucks,and they didn't get rid of the fumes as well as ones dumping behind the rear wheels ..

I have mine coming out stock location both sides and it works good and the air coming off the tires blows the exhaust out the back.
Stock location for me. I get a little smell while stopped at a light but then again the interior metal part that goes over the fuel fill neck is mostly rusted away
