Center exit exhaust... ever been done?

[metalmonkey47]

I've been milling the idea over in my head the last few hours after seeing an old Chevy Luv.

 

 

I need to add a resonator to my exhaust, and I don't have much room because of the bends except at the back so I figured if I had it added post muffler, why not play with it a bit?

 

The idea was to relocate the license plate and run the exhaust straight out of the back on turn up's in the center, with a dual outlet tip.

Sort of like this lambo:

 

 

 

 

 

From what I'm working with now:

Yes, but the tailgate will get exhaust deposits all over it.

back in the 80's i seen a lot of ansa tips ran out the middle i think it looks good

[MicroMachinery]

"Stretch" has a 521 with center exhaust.

[Dat Lurka]

Do it.

[Laecaon]

Yes I was going to mention Stretch's 521.

 

I have been trying to get my friend to move his licenceplate against the left lights, and then run the exhaust to the right of the plate.

[metalmonkey47]

Mike, I'm not worried too much about carboning up my tailgate. I wash my truck often enough it's no biggie.

 

Only issue is deciding where to put the plate that won't look tacky and will be easily visible. I don't want to give cops a reason to pull me over.

 

 

 

Anyone got pics of Stretches? I can't seem to locate any

[MicroMachinery]

I don't think he had a build thread. I just remember seeing it around town(he lives in the next town over from me), but not on here.. check the Beaverton Ratsun meets event thread..

[Dat Lurka]

Just move the plate to the side.

[darrel]

You know you want to.

^^Like this! Just that tip is.... not pretty.

I know Dat Lurker already said it but just center it between where the tag is now and one side of the truck. it should be cake making brackets. Also are those scotch locks?

[HRH]

Center on a truck is silly. Side pipe that shit! ;)

I like how the guy said "and I don't get watery eyes anymore." That is me right now with my tailpipe cut off behind the muffler. I can't open the back windows because if I do I get smoked out! Eyes burning just going down the road, and sitting at a stop I am coughing. I am going to go center exit with a half oval cut out in the roll pan on my truck in Porsche style using this muffler:

 

 

I will be getting the tailgate re-skinned with a custom plate inset and have the "DATSUN" from my stock rusted out tailgate added in nearer to the top.

Thats an old vid i made years ago.

The tip was free so i used it.

Ah so that was your truck?? Got any pictures of it from the rear? Your truck was my primary inspiration! It was the first center exit exhaust I saw on a 620 with a turn up tip.

[Cahoon520]

Heres mine looks kinda dumb....

[izzo]

It may be silly to you, Matt. But not others..

 

Jester had a center exhaust on his black/orage 620 (or close to). I'm sure there's more pictures of it floating around. It was slick.

Streatch's

[Laecaon]

Oh yes! finally a picture. My favorite exhaust on a 521.

[JoeCool]

That looks AWESOME!

[metalmonkey47]

Hell yes!! That's what I'm talkin about :thumbup:
