96 4runner dual exhaust

qualitydave · 06-01-2005, 01:46 PM

I would like to split my exhaust coming out of the muffler in to duals, but the muffler shop said that the spare tire would have to go to make it work. Does any one else have duals on there 3rd gen 4 runner and how was it done.

if your just going for the look, then you can just run a dummy pipe on the driver side. I think jasonB has a working one though. not sure

qualitydave · 06-01-2005, 02:45 PM

I thought about that but I cant do it, its got to be the real thing. I e-mailed Jason maybe he will tell me how it's done

X-AWDriver · 06-02-2005, 09:17 AM

If you can't do the real thing then don't do it at all;while it's not a performance enhancer it's still a step above fake "rice". I do it if I had the money but I'm just gonna go with a simple catback.

JasonB's is a dummy pipe. The only way to run a true, functional dual exhaust on a 3rd gen is to remove the spare tire. Such is life....

You know what I think I am going to do it it would be a simple cat back system but with a dummie pipe and so what if its fake,

it's just for the looks, and how many things do we do to our trucks just for the looks.

It's your truck and if you like the look I say go for it.

jc1kz · 06-02-2005, 10:38 AM

It's more the principle and clear lights and TRD stickers don't fall into the same category. Would you stick a fake supercharger on top of the engine for the sake of looks. But people can do what they want like stated above but we can also poke fun too if we want.

hey dave!

99_Runner · 06-03-2005, 11:54 AM

I have a question. If you are going to make a dummy pipe, are you going to take that pipe all the way to the actual exhaust pipe? If you are then it shouldn't be hard to just splice it in. Just a thought.

97Limited · 09-20-2005, 12:36 PM

Hey qualitydave;

I have a Custom Magnaflow dual-exhaust on my 97 4Runner!! And yes you have to loose the spare tire!!
I have a daul outlet 14" Stainless Magnaflow with 2.25 pipes and 18" stainless tips!!

Pics here!! just scoll down to the exhaust pics!!

DavidA · 09-20-2005, 12:59 PM

Oh...think about this one. I saw a chevy truck the other day where they had spliced onto the tail pipe end, then ran it across under the bumper and put 4 ends tacked onto it out the back!!!!!....The ends were not even lined up and level.

It was horrible!!!

garrett1478 · 09-20-2005, 02:26 PM

i've seen another case on here somewhere that the 4Runner had a 3" body lift and the pipe was routed over the spare tire. but this is a lot of trouble just for dual exhaust. go with dummy pipe or remove the spare tire.

09-20-2005, 11:24 PM

You don't have to run it all the way out the back! Just dump the duals in front of the rear tires. You could even do pipes that exit out the sides under the rear doors. Just watch out for the Co2 coming back inside.

That's illegal in pretty much any state.

97Limited · 09-21-2005, 10:10 AM

Hey Tomsriv;

Anyone with a 3rd Gen. 4Runner can not dump the exhaust out in front of driver-side rear tire cause the Gas tank is right there pretty much against the rear axle!!
I think the only way to get around not removing the spare is if maybe you go with a smaller spare tire, maybe it will give you a little more space!! And of course if you have a body lift will help as well!!!

Arent vipers and AMG G55 wagons like that? side pipes?

JC_ez · 09-23-2005, 12:04 PM

Hey 97Limited! I'm from Vancouver, BC as well....I swear I've seen your truck on Robson before....I noticed it and saw the dual exhaust pipes...very nice ride!

As for adding dual exhaust...I really like the way Jason's turned out. I say go for it if you like it. Maybe they can fab it in such a way that if you ever relocate the spare tire later on, they can connect the dummy pipe to make it a fully functional system. Good luck!

Really? There are several vehicles that come from the factory with this setup ie. Ford's SVT lineup including the rare Explorer SVT.

Is that cat back? did you get rid of the cross over pipe? Headers with duals and no cross over pipe is

Side-exit exhaust? Or turndowns? Turndowns are usually illegal, side exits I've never heard of being illegal. SVT Lightnings, Merc AMG's, Vipers, Roush and Saleen Mustangs, and lots of others come with side-exit exhaust.
