cody4359 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Thinking a getting some exhaust work done soon. I'm leaning twoards having it routed out the passanger side, thru the leafspring just below the bed. I have yet to flex it out and get exact clearances, but it looks like it should fit. Has anyone else ran they're exhaust like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroxsteve Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 My truck is like that and I have no problems but I stay on easy trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscowell Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is how I went about getting mine done. Has worked great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I dig that thru bed routing. I think I'll steal that idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody.quattlebaum.16 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I am doing the through the bed routing as well. Looks great and keeps the exhaust up high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 My truck is like that and I have no problems but I stay on easy trails. By chance do you have a picture of it? I too, am a easy wheeler and i like shiny stuff so a nice chrome exhaust tip will go on. I also have a header and a flowmaster 50 cutoff under the bed, so routing it back further and out is what I'm after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get a picture of it then if you still need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daking Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Looks good, Yea, I'm doing a through the bed too. A little different though. I went with a muffler that has the in and out on the same side, so I can install it further back. It'll set under the bed, higher out of the way. And being a bit further back will help in weight distribution. (The tip is just setting there, for the picture. The final product will set in more, angled down n back) Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Why increase weight and backpressure? I dumped it down right after the muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't care for the annoying resonances of exhaust dumping under the body, and the weight and back pressure are negligible. This isn't a race car. And I'm adding 100 pounds worth of bumper anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 An ounce here, an ounce there, after a while, it adds up! I'm with you on the resonance thing, though. I got around that by going with a bigger muffler preceded by a glasspack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I'm too old for resonance bull$#!&. I had this system installed about a year ago, regretfully. As soon as I get my new engine installed I'm going to have this replaced with what I wanted to start with. Two pipes from the xmember to two mufflers right at the rear bumper.

daking Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I did a dump before the rear axle on 600+ HEMI. Came out nice. 3" header to 3X3 to 4" Y pipe, then 4" dump, to a muffler with 4" in / out (5" internals) and turn down. Used band clamps to make solid seal, and allow quick removal of exhaust (for replacing transmissions) I changed the design a bit from this image, the 4" cutout opens on the straight exit of the Y, and the muffler is connected to the bend of the Y. So when the cut out is open, its a straight shot. Image Not Found the first dump is electric cut out, just past the muffler, you can see the turn down if ran through. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found band clamp Image Not Found audio of exhaust, closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dumped it down right after the muffler.I run a short turn down just before the wheel well opening after a large welded turbo muffler. It directs the exhaust into that opening and cuts the resonance issue back a lot. I wanted an easy to build in the drive system because I built it in the driveway.

Part of the reason I designed my system the way I did was also aimed at ease of use/maintenance. When the time comes to drop my tranny for a clutch swap, I just have to loosen 4 bolts and purchase 2 new exhaust seals and I'm good as new!

cody4359 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Stopped by for a quote and they got me in immediatley. I have 2 1/4" clearance for when the springs flatten out and it is soo much quieter inside the cab with a nice rumble out back. I kept the tip just behind the quarter panel incase a obstacle wacks it, it has room to move . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
