Exhaust out of bed. What do you think?

I'm looking at rerouting my exhaust to come out of the side of the bed on the passengers side. I made a diagram of what the plate will look like on the side of the bed. What do you guys think? Anything in particular I need to keep in mind? Thanks! Sorry the pictures suck ass.

 

IIRC there have been a guy or two that have done this. Go for it

 

Sweet! I've been looking around other threads for people that have done this but haven't found anything yet :/

 

I'll see what I can dig up for ya

 

I think Hiatt or Rcfreak did this...or at least saw them making comments about it...

 

ive seen this done on some built trucks in my area.

i think its cool after a while cause the exhaust leaves black carbon mark down the side.

im weird like that tho

 

Like this? Goofy to me.

That looks like an outlet for fluid waste.

OP, what is your reason for wanting to do this?

My only concern would be little kids leaning up against that area and getting burned. [flashbacks from getting burned myself]

 

Read through this thread OP --->> http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/197656-thru-body-exhaust-tip.html

A few guys have done it and there are pics too!

 

More or less the same idea, but A LOT cleaner than that one. The white piece in the picture will be an aluminum plate with a riveted look around to hold it in place. The motivation for it came from a buddies truck I saw a long time ago with something similar. Looked Awesome

 

Thanks for the link! I like it, but want it to be much cleaner than the ones in that thread.

 

it'll teach them not to lean on the Taco

 

Do it.

 

Something like this, except with more shiny aluminum

 

i'd say scrap the shiny aluminum and do flat black

 

Yeah I do like that too. Ill have to check it out after I make the piece.

 

are you going to make it flush or let it stick out a little bit?

 

I think i'm gonna use 3/16 plate. So it'll stick out a little.

 

hell it'll be unique!

 

If you can pull it off cleanly it would be pretty sweet.
