I went to midas to get an estimate on my exhaust my plan was to run dual pipes out before the rear tire and the guy said i couldnt do it on my truck because of emmsions can anybody verify this for me i live in wisconsin fyi

 

Not sure about the emissions issue, but I prefer the pipes out the side so you don't mash them when backing up to an obstacle (hill, etc.)

 

Go to a different shop. That guy is full of crap

 

i dont get the emmisins thing but i think i heard of a law saying that it has to exit atleast 6 in past the cab but has anybody in wisconsin done this with no problems

 

i found a shop that will do it and for 125 bucks

 

Yet an other reason why midas is completely ignorant. DO NOT go to midas.

 

my buddy works that i thought i would stop and see also wat do u think would look better 3.5 or 4in tips also rolled 15degree or 45 slash cut

 

can anyone spot were this FACTORY exit is?



ding ding ding ding before the rear tire. on the long beds ford ran the tip out before the rear tire. as well as on lightnings


due to emissions? HA! you can still have all 4 cats. all the EGR crap and even mufflers and still exit before the rear tires. that guy is full of crap. never go there again.

 

45 slash cut all the way. never really liked the rolled tips. as for the size thats your call. it will act as a megaphone.

 

alright thanks a lot im looking to get this done very soon

 

45 before the rear tire may tarnish the rim, ive had mine there for a year now and no signs but there is a chance. Most laws for exhaust exit will be it has to be at least dumped 6 to 8 inches after the cab to pervent CO emissions from geting into the cab

 

glad they dont check in michigan. pretty sure mine dumps under the cab. i never got light headed or anything.

ive heard that back and forth about the rim might get all messed up ive never seen a long bed or a lightning with a messed up rim so i dont really belive it.

once i get a job im going to put lightning style exits on both driver and passenger side and ill let you know what happens to the rear rims

 

i dont really care that much if my rims get messed up i like the look of the exhaust before the rear tire

 

dont idle too long in one place. But yea i dont think it will mess the rim or tire up, the most i could see if your running rich (winter and such) or the motor is burning oil it could leave some deposit on the rim

 

im running lean right now because of the cai but im gettin custom tunes i just wanted to wait to get my exhaust
