Doing a new exhaust setup and putting an electric exhaust cutout somewhere in the I-pipe and running a tailpipe off of it to have it exit on the passenger side out the back. Was wondering if it were possible if I put the cutout in the red circle and ran the pipe under the axle in the black circle??

you would loose a ridiculous amount of ground clearance in doing that. Why dont you place the cutout further towards the engine and run your exhaust the normal stock route?

Uh.........you know the rear axle moves up and down,dont you? Not only would you lose ground clearance......you would have to chain your axle to the bottom of the car so it wouldnt articulate down...........think about it........dont you think it would look a little bit ......uh......hacked up and crappy? Just buy the cut out, buy a turn down and just run the turn down

i've seen a couple cars just have the cut out right there for the track and use nothing else with it why would you want more pipe under there ?

Yep...you hit one good pothole and that nice new custom exhaust is toast.

I have an idea.

Where the over axle pipe 90*'s into the muffler have a straight pipe off that connected to the outlet exhaust pipe for the right rear tip, this way flip the switch and it bypasses the muffler STILL, and would still exit out the right rear.

Fitment issues of course, but an idea no?

Heh, I should posted my initial idea first.

I have to have the extra pipe off the cutout because it sounds like an old tractor without a longer tailpipe, plus the logner pipe is needed to place my higher exhaust throughput in the lower rpms where I make all of my power/tq, plus it reverberates so bad inside with anything that's not out the back even with turndowns.
Having the open pipe I have right now isn't very loud in the cabin at all, plus it has alot more tone than just open y or muffler cutoff. Plus then I can retain the dual exit look. I've got straight pipe through an offroad y-pipe with a muffler delete and single exit on the drivers side rigth now.

This was my initial idea.



But looking closer into it i'd have to have the exhaust hanger welded onto the cutout or pretty close to one side, thought that going under the axle would maybe work after seeing a post of a 4th gen on this site that had 2 pipes running under the axle one on each side, I can't find the link now.

EDIT!
Found the post, it was on ls1tech.

duals going under the axle, and he said he didn't have any problem? Plus he is lowered, whereas I am stock height. The stock I-pipe that I have right now would be the same height as the pipe running out the back and that doesn't scrape? So no ground clearance would be lost, it would be the same.

No1 has a response to the how that guy ran his exhaust?

your pic you drew is pretty much exactly what the borla system is...
so that would work just fine.
i wouldnt do under the axle, even if a 4th gen did it just fine.
