Exhaust Tail Pipe Question

[gforce_15]

I'm changing the muffler on my truck (Corsa sport or Magnaflow) and was wondering if anybody has tucked (hidden) their tail pipe under the box and faced it down/outwards at the end of the box without the tail pipe being visible or exposed. I'm trying to go for a clean look and am wondering if its possible or if anybody has done this before???

 

Pics or opinions greatly appreciated...thanks

I know Matt_ and I are running the clean look. We cut our resonator off above the rear axle in such a way that the exhaust flows down towards the ground. I just did mine yesterday so I don't have a historical track record to go off of yet. Matt_ did his a while ago and still says he has not had any issues. My only concern is that the exhaust will start to damage the bottom on the bed or the spare tire since it is exhausting right by it.

Your absolute right. The hot exhaust combined with the high volume of condensation will accelerate corrosion (rust) underneath the truck.

i dont have this setup on my current truck, but I didn on my previous one for about 2 1/2 years before I sold it and never had any issues, it was a turn down right behind the cab.

I had a corsa muffler put on and I had the muffler shop custom bend a tail pipe for me. It stays up closer to the body and turns down at about a 45 degree angle right at the rear bumper. You cannot see it at all ( unless you're 3ft tall you'd probably see it).

 

To answer your question: Yes, it can be done.

I think Zembonez has that look going on his truck as well.

I love the way my magnaflow 14" sounds. I had it mounted on the factory pipe, and had a nice SS tip lying around. No drone, and sounds great. I wouldn't think that there would be too much of a problem cutting off the pipe, I would have a turn down installed to direct the majority of the exhaust to the ground.

Here are some pics. of "Zembonez" exhaust,

 

"Flowmaster 70 Series Big Block single in dual out with custom bent (nicely hidden) pipes. Nice and mellow.

Here is my setup, 40 series Flowmaster with full 3inch pipe tucked just a little bit with no tip.

Off topic but how did you get your center cap bowties black?

Mine runs from the magnaflow and along the frame rails behind the rear axle. It is turned down 45 degrees to spit out the exhaust toward the ground. You can't see it, you can only hear it.

thanks alot everyone, especially elcompaLalo and 700 sportsman for the great closeup pics! I was a little concerned about moisture building up under the box and forming rust, but i think a guy would be safe if it was routed to near the back and pointed outwards especiallly like elcompaLalo's.

 

Great vid krobocop...i'm also considering that option, but i'm worried that the tips would get sandblasted over time as i do hit the gravel roads a fair amount.

 

I think i'm sold on the clean hidden exhaust look...

 

thanks again. This site rocks!

Do you have any pics you could share with me? thanks
