exhaust through fender
Has anyone put their exhaust through the rear fender? I'm planning on doing this when I get bedsides and new leafs because the way I have my exhaust now will get in the way of the new front hanger. I was wondering how its done. I was thinking that since its fiberglass, it would need some sort of special cushioned mount or something :shrug:

muffler? i went 6+ months without one talk about loss of power. Seen it done you will have to do some crazy bends and twist to get above the frame rail and bed. easier to just cut it short. coming out of the fender it will leave black crap that you will always have to wash off.most of us just cut the tailpipe after the muffler, just before the axle to make room for articulation...
my buddy used a CORSA boat tip on his 2500HD... looked freakin sweet. 8.1 liter with no cats and headers.... SCREAMS!:jawdrop:
ya i know about dumping before the axle but that makes everything under the truck even dirtier and the exhaust in the fender looks b!thcin
first things first, exhaust holes on fenders is lame. super lame. did i mention it was lame?
you have your priorities all mixed here, because if you are worried about soot that you wont ever see, wait till you see the crap that'll be left on your bedside once you make that hole.
second, dirty? you live in a DESERT, this isn't gonna make things any worse.ya i know about dumping before the axle but that makes everything under the truck even dirtier and the exhaust in the fender looks b!thcin

its starting to sound like you are building a truck to look cool in and not really wheel...
are you planning to really put this truck to use out in the dirt or planning to just cruise around in it?
for most trucks, the fenders are up front and the rears are referred to as bedsides...
you won't find too many trucks, other than street queen SEMA trucks, that are running the exhaust pipes through the bedsides...
although there were a couple lil trophy karts at CORR that ran that configuration...

it seems that any time somebody has a different opinion from the majority of the people on this forum, they have to get flamed for it.
anyways, I have serious plans for my truck in the future, but it is my daily driver for now and I'd like to keep it nice rather than having a daily driver that gets beat to hell and looks like sh!t. Why not have the best of both worlds and have a truck that you can fly thorugh the desert with and still look nice while doin it? Thats what I'm going for.
its not so much flaming... we have been in the scene longer and seen what works n what doesnt...yes i know theyre called bedsides

bottom line the black soot that would otherwise end up undercarriage will get all over the body of the truck...
unless u plan to wash it every other day, it WILL look like sh1t
ur money
ur truck
do as u please and have fun with it...
Member PrezidentRedz has his exhaust through the bed. Kinda similar what the op was asking about.

you should see under my truck...its not black...its BROWN! actually its brown all over thanks to barstow. you can probably route it in the bedside before the axle like pictured above so it wont mess with articulation if you decide to offroad later.
stacks would be cooler imo!

I wouldn't reccommend exiting infront of the axle. The smoke curls round and gets in the wheel/brakes which in turn accelerates corrosion and looks black and horrible.
Not the best pictures but they're all I have. Compare the front wheel to the rear. Both are CHROME directionals.
