Exhaust Exit Angle

I didn’t like the exit angle of the tail pipe so I modified it slightly. I installed an Upower exhaust tip (2.5” inlet to 4” outlet) and painted the tail pipe black to the muffler.

 

Except the riveted branding I think that looks real good, nice job!

 

Looks good

 

Yea, I’m agnostic on the branding. I disliked the angle though. It’s purely atheistic, but I think it looks better swept back.

 

What paint did you use?

 

Cheap, high-temp flat black. It dried very quickly.

 

Riveted badge looks cheesy, cool except for that as long as the paint doesn't peel/pop.

 

Looks good, except for the riveted plaque on there.

 

Hate to be a wet blanket but I would worry about condensation running back to the low point and pooling.

 

I actually kinda like the branding badge, but agree with the condensation issue. It kinda creates a potential pool, but if you like how it looks, run with it. I bet you swap it out with a full stainless exhaust before anything rusts through anyway...

 

But does it let the condensation drip?

I like it though

 

You're right!

 

I like the product and the paint but if I was following you I'd be thinking it was installed crooked or damaged off-road.

 

I don't want to pile on the OP but I have to agree with you.

 

Mine turns before the tire so I have room for my spare.

 

Good observation. Just looked at it again and it does point up some. When installing I wanted to close the gap between body and tailpipe, but did not consider the potential for pooling or the optic of it being crooked. I might have to rethink the positioning.

 

This was my first option but wasn't sure I could make fit with the location of the stock muffler. The gas tank is on the other side and I didn't want to run the muffler next to it.

 

Looks good, you're already thinking right too. It's good to see someone taking constructive criticism on here instead of freaking out. Test it out and see how it goes I suppose, hopefully it's not too much of a hassle to reposition it if you need to.

 

It has two drain holes in the tip.

 

It’s a big job. You have to replace the stock muffler with a smaller one.
