Side Dump Exhaust

[TYTILIDIE]

Wasnt sure where to post this. Has anyone ever used a side dump exhaust? I was thinking of doind this but when I had my "test muffler" clamped to the downpipe with no other pipes I smelled exhaust in the truck almost all the time. I want to have it exit in front of the rear tires. My main concern is that I dont want to smell exhaust cause I have a daughter who rides in the truck all the time with me. If it were just I wouldnt really care.

typhoon will be tough with minimized ground clearance. On a syclone the frame is notched and much easier for side exit.

I have mine setup this way right now. YES you smell exhuast (however i'm running extremely rich right now) And it is extremely loud.

if you'd like to hear what it sounds like....i have 2 video clips:

Damn that sucks, I was really hoping to not be able to smell it cause I founf these tips that are absolutely badass but they would only look good for side dumps. I run rich too I think. When I forget to close my back hatch all the way, and it opens it smells like you wouldnt believe and it "gases" me out.

Yeah Josh like that. Do you notice a smell from that? I can totally see a smell with Mike's being open and all but I was really looking at dumping just before the rear tire. Ground clearance is something that I could really care less about.

Good because there wont be much.


And with it exiting like that, It doesnt fill up the cab or anything, You'll notice the smell quickly in the garage in the morning, but for the most part it must not be too bad because I don't notice it and none of my passangers have complained.

there is no smell with it at all, I have been running this set up since 2000 on 2 different syclone, Ian Has been running the same set up since early this year (he is a testing it) I wish I could make em for the Ty. I have tried making another one but it turned out like shit, dont try to weld metal that is below 50 degrees it sucks, anyways if there was enough demand for a typhoon oval side exit and I could get my hands on a typhoon I could make em. they would be pretty expensive though the oval stainless isnt cheap.

The set up this guy showed me is pretty sweet. Its oval but there are two smaller ones instead of one big one. The one towards the rear is like 4" wide and the other is 3" wide. You have to see it to know what im sayin. If I ever get it I will post pics. Going to try to have it done by Christmas.
