I searched, but I'm wanting to do something a little different than what I've found..

So, after a few members came over and made fun of my exhaust, I finally came to redoing them today. Went out and got a couple of mufflers to place onto the pipes once I rerouted them. Spent a little too much time trying to figure out how to branch one of the pipes over towards the driver side area but thanks to my Tranny/T-case/Drive shaft my efforts were futile, so decided to keep the straight pipes, since mufflers won't fit either way, and run them next to each other.

Now, I was wanting to dump the exhaust right before my axle but thanks to my lift (Suspension) I fear for my rear, so I took the two short pipes I had, and managed dumping the exhaust about midway (They line up with the U-joint) of the BKO. I'm sure It'll be loud, (It's dark and Im afraid of my neighbors) but is this set up problematic mechanical wise or should I just shoot the pipes out the back, but not exceeding the rear axle?

The pipes tuck next to the frame on the inside so unless I branch the exhaust down and then out, I can't shoot out before the tires, I imagine that'll be fine? When I imagined the idea though, it looked a bit funny..

Anyway, I need advice and I'm running 2 1/8 ID pipes.

Thanks,
Zane

 

perfectly fine...

the only problem you might have is over time dumping it close to the cab can cause you 2 get a headache

just keep your dump away from your back axle, I had the pleasure of being an idiot and dumping mine there... after about two days i burned my breakline in half

 

Also when going over the rearaxle, make sure the pipe is far enough from the axle. Me also having an idiot moment never thought to raise the pipe up much, and every time I hit a decent bump, I hear the clang of 2 pipes hitting my axle. haha

 

Mine ends right at the back of the cat on my '97 F-250HD. About a foot past the cab. I have a sliding rear window and the fumes dont get to me, or Ive just become immune to them. I'm still trying to figure out how to do straigh stacks on a full bed with a cap. Jimbo

 

how high above the axle did you go?

 

Justa couple inches. I shoulda taken the time to add a bend in there to get it like about 6. But it's only maybe 2-3.
