Before the rear tire exhaust

Is anyone running their exhaust out the side before the rear tire? Pics and advice please

 

Not off to side, but dumps before axle, straight down..

If you're planning on suspension and off roading, id say do it..

I'm running a MBRP XP series turn down..

 

my exhaust dumps before the rear axle as well, but mine is made by magnaflow.

 

is it the offroad exhaust? do you like it? what did you pay for it? i am really considering the same thing. how do you like it?

 

yea its the offroad pro series. i didnt like it at first, but once i drove around on it for a little while...it started to sound a lot better. I paid $288 with free shipping from 4wheelparts.com. check out the last few pages of my build...you'll be able to see some pictures there.

 

Yeah, mine was the same way.. sounds way better now.. and i got an improvement of 1 mpg too..

 

nice!!! yea my gas mileage got a little better too.

 

I'm talking about the pipes coming out the side in front of the tire so you can see the pipes. I haven't seen a taco with an exhaust like that so I was gonna try it. What do you think?

 

yea i don't see any issues with doing the side exit in front of the rear tire as long as you're not running any side steps, nerf bars, etc.

 

Think it would look alright?

 

yea i dont see why it wouldnt. i have never seen a tacoma with the side exit like that, but its your truck...so do what you want!! good luck

 

I've seen it.. its okay..

offroading, wheeling, crawling, etc..

Looks great in mall parking lots..

 

Take this for what it's worth, as I don't feel like trying to search up a source, but I recall something about after Ford's F150 re-style 1 or 2 gens ago that had the exhaust exiting in front of the rear tire. Exhaust dumping on that tire was causing it to degrade much faster than normal. Might want to check into this a bit before modding that direction.

 

I think that is a great and valid point to consider. not to mention the discoloration it may cause over time. The heat and smoke seem like it would cause damage over time.

 

It was only on the 97 F150's and discontinued due to rim/center cap discoloration.

This is on my list of things to do on my tacoma.
2 pipes side exit before rear tire. Love that shit...


OP do it and post pics!!!!!

 

Wont the leaf spring get in the way? At least maybe on a dcsb?

 

yes I had one of those 97....
sorry, but you want to talk about a big piece of shit!!!!!

 

Mine exhaust is like that I've had it like this for about 2 years now on my 05 dcsb
