dump exhaust undercar

I can't really find the pics that I am looking for. Does anyone have pics of exhaust that is dumped under the car with a turndown with an oval muffler, just single pipe in the stock location. How is the ground clearace for a regular oval muffler, like a universal summit muffler which I am thinking about running.

Re: dump exhaust undercar

i wanted to do turndowns, but like... the inspection people said that it had to exit the rear of the car and not the tires...

We don't have inspections here in FL so I don't have to worry about it. Now I am just looking for a low profile but quiet muffler.

Re: dump exhaust undercar

if they do inspections/visual insepections you cant do it. turn downs are basically illegal, with out a cat it also wont pass, but if u can run true duals with bullet mufflers u can def run a single in the stock location, for your v6 u would want a smaller diameter, like 2 1/4, the outer diameter is only like 3" i believe with a glass pack at that size so your would def have enough room, u could run it, but angle the turndown away towards the pass side at like a 45-60 degree angle (not pointing straight down)

i have dual 3" turndowns with xpipe on my TPI 350 soon to be HSR 383. im not running bullet mufflers tho, forces from summit, u would want a spiral flow/bullet muffler. and u can keep the cat !

Re: dump exhaust undercar

I actually had the idea of getting a 4th gen Z28 tip and using that as a side exit tip. I want low profile like a glasspack but they just sound like poo on a V6 and they are a little too loud for me. I have thought about running duals though, I probably won't though. 2 1/2" single pipe is where I will probably stay but I might be able to get a LTs and run short duals.

Re: dump exhaust undercar

dont bother with the v6, single 2 1/4 would be best and a 2.5" is pushing it. duals would kill your power. u would have to find a good spiral muffler or something.

Re: dump exhaust undercar

These motors love 2.5" piping, duals are a thought but I will probably not do it. How are Borla universal turbo mufflers? As in how quiet and would they fit in the area of the tailshaft of the tranny? I need a muffler with a low profile , but quiet. I would like to get a turbo muffler, anyone know of one that is pretty small?
