MJ Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 What is the recommended 'overhang' / length of the exit pipe in terms of length of pipe +/- the rear track of the car. Measuring and bending copper wire so exhaust man can complete DIY exhaust / silencer (6") upgrade on my x/flow and at present (dry assembled - not welded yet) the side exit pipe is about 1 - 2" wider than the rear wheel / rear track. Is this OK or should the exit be within the rear track of the car Gong for weirdist question of the evening perhaps 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Well, FWIW, my k-exhaust doesn't overhang at all. Take a look at the 2nd piccie down here The angle of the pic doesn't help, but you can pretty much see/work out that the pipe is within the track/extremities of the car - and this is using the outermost rear bracket setting to clear the paintwork.

Big Brother Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Not wishing to hijack your thread but on a similar note, if the tailpipe is closer to the body of the car (exhaust exit about in-line with the centre of the rear tyre), will the exhaust gasses cause any tyre problems (heat wise)?

Myles Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I had a closer look at mine last night after writing my previous reply. The extremity of the pipe is pretty much in line with the outer-edge of the tyre (6" width wheels - the wing is slightly wider still....) So, no, I don't think so in my case...
