Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Ive ran a glass pack where the cat-converter was and no muffler in the back in several of my cars before. It sounded ok.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Ran a round dynomax just before rear axle next to driveshaft pinion yoke and then went up over the axle. Clearance was ok considering 6" thick case

I'm running true dual stacks, no cat with one glasspak per side, exiting out the side and going up in between the door window and the hatch. Sounds kinda like a Harley, somehow.

Edited the first post

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

i thought i saw a member on here once ran true dual mufflers in that area. cant remember the post it was in, or what kind of mufflers they were. i know, i'm such a great help.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Here's my set up. Longtubes, true dual 2.5" dumped just before the rear axle. Thrush welded mufflers.

^This guy is close, im trying to run -1- muffler in the absolute center back their.

My I pipe slipped out the back of my Mufflex Y pipe for my LTs (as usual...because its not welded) so my exhaust was hanging low with a steel rod in the I pipe and Y pipe to keep the I pipe off the ground.
I was driving and I saw this huge street cover so I came to a complete stop, then inch over it and bamn. The I pipe got caught on the thing and got waded and twisted up, so I cut it off.

Since im not gonna waste money on another cat back, im just gonna put my Maxflow muffler on the back of the Mufflex Y pipe and be done with all this.

RedLeader289 - do you have any more pics of the mufflers but from the sides back their?

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Here's a couple more, only one of them is from the side though, you can see the mufflers (the small rectangles just in front of my rear tires).

I have about 4-5" of clearance on the lowest hanging part. BUT I'm also running 275/60/R15 tires in the back, which give me an inch more height than stock tires.

Do u have any sound samples or a video of how ur exhaust setup sounds like? I have the exact same setup I'm waiting to install on my 91rs. Just waiting for payday to get my o2 sensors

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

I don't, it sounds very similar to the example that they put up on their website though for the "Thrush Welded Mufflers"

http://www.thrushexhaust.com/products.html

It's a pretty loud setup and allows for the engine to breathe nice and plenty. I'm running totally old school though, no O2 sensors or cats or anything. If I can remember I will try to record it tonight when I get home, should have it up by tomorrow.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

i've got 4 mufflers before the rear, lol.

I'm a young guy so I can handle loud lol. I have the flowmaster cross flow catback on it right now with no cat but I had to drop it down an inch or two to get subframe connectors in and now I have about an inch of ground clearance so I'm bout to put a whole new exhaust on it

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Here's what mine sounds like. It is idling a little lower than usual in Park because it wasn't warmed up. I didn't have a good place to put the camera in order to hear it while it was in Drive but you get the idea.

That buzzing that you hear is my fuel pump (holley blue pump) lol.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

FYI typically my idle is at about 950 in Park, and between 650-675 in Drive.

In the Video it was idling at about 750 (since it wasn't warmed up).

I never realized how loud that fuel pump was though, haha.

You're kidding.......right? :huh:

He's building it into a mud/rally racer

I have a single thrush welded 2.5 inch in/out in the catcon area with 2.5 inch pipe from the turbo to right next to/just below the driveshaft. Terminates before the rear axle, but doesn't come past the back of the side windows. So where I live its technically not legal. But there is nothing but mud trucks running open headers by me so you can see why it doesn't really matter.

You can see in the last pic, it doesn't hang down at all past the ground fx. I also welded a bolt to the muffler and reused the catcon bracket to hold the muffler up. Works great. Though I do have a turbo, so your pipe routing may have to be different.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

I'm working on my exhaust install right now it's hedman longtubes 2.5 inch pipe dual thrush welded mufflers dumped at the axle. I can't figure out how to post pics though on this site

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

That's literally the same set up I have.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

I'm thinking of adding an x or H pipe in too but I'm not sure yet

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

Yeah, if you check out post #7 in this thread you'll see pics of how mine is routed.

A "little" ruffed up from being slammed, but you get the jist. Homemade in driveway on Jackstands.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

That is the worst exhaust and welding iv ever seen.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

This isn't helpful to this thread at all. Everybody starts somewhere, jeez.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

This is my thread and your post isn't helpful. :welcome:

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

i made mine for free, did you? ask for advice then wanna be a dick, figure it out on your own then. btw i welded that bitch with a car battery and coat hanger. so now you know that id say thats some badass welding.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

No, I paid money for quality parts with quality work done to them. Did you?
Nothing "personal" man but, that is actual the worst iv seen, even by "thirdgen" standards.

I started this thread in June, its now September. The title says "...muffler mounted -in front- of the rear end". Not pointed out the side from under the "cat hump".
(the hump in the floor)

-nothing personal guy

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

when it comes time to make it legit, i will make a nice setup. i did with what i had and wasnt worried about what it looks like. im proud of what i created on a drunk saturday afternoon. i mean im not gunna put mirrors underneath it at a show but the thing doesnt leak and thats all that matters right now. i dont need to throw money bags i do all my own work. and last time i looked at it there is a "muffler hanging in front of the rear end"

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

No harm, no foul.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

If you want to see the worst exhaust on a thirdgen I'll post a pic of what the PO did to my car lol.

Re: Any body have their muffler mounted infront of the rear end?
 

3 inch duals dumped with flowmaster race mufflers
