96 4runner dual exhaust
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 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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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!!!
