What do you mean by 'hangs there'?
It should have hangers holding it up.

Seems to me you could take it to an exhaust shop and just have them cut and put a section that is turned up (or any way you want) Shouldnt cost very much......

cut a hole in the side here is what i did

Actually I ended up accidentally slamming my exhaust on a rock and it bent the hanger upwards. I think it looks fine with my marlin bumper.

That may be an option for you is to just shorten the hanger and have the tailpipe sit up a bit higher.

The best pictures of it that I have at the moment.

My exhaust endeded up dumping onto my marlin bumper, so I cut off the old tailpipe, bought some cheap pipe from a local parts store, heated the pipes and bent up a new tailpipe. It exits straight out the back now.

I will post a picture when I get home.

i kept smashing my exhaust when it was below the bumper (broke my exhaust 4 times before i just put it where it is now)

If i had a pick up, thats where mine would come out!

dirtoyboy

Nice idea but I dont think I would want the exhaust that close to the cab......

x2.. most states it won't pass inspection on an suv if it does not come out behind the rear tire.

You gotta keep in mind how much clearance you are gaining with the mc bumper. Just have it raised up in the same location. I've never had an issue with hitting mine on a rock since I put the bumper on.

never smashed the marlin? man i seem to do it all the time its a truck not a SUV though, it passes CA smog no prob here is a lil video of me smashing the rear-

Norcalsvx' truck is legal if the pipe sticks out at least 2" from the body... and exits the vehicle behind any possible passenger compartment.

I thought about hitting the exhaust so I rigged it up so the tip ends about 2" from the farthest point of the bumper.

Worse comes to worse, my tip will get crushed if I really land on it. I can just unbolt it and run without, then buy a new one.

I wouldnt usually run such a big tip, but the sound it makes is amazing

I noticed. OP has an suv is where I was getting at.

Nice video. You just go through that without a care in the world. haha But no I have never slammed the mc bumper on anything. The stock bumper.. well that was another story...

here is a pic

i really like the look of that chrome tip that looks soooooo sick. how exactly did you do that? i don't know how to quote people sorry. if i were to have it exit out the side how would i do that?

abecedarian

wow...
well anyways, any muffler shop should be able to cut and tuck the pipe up and wherever you want it.

norcalsvx

youre not running any bump stops? hows that working for ya

norcalsvx

its just my wheeling truck so its gets bashed around a lil

Jay351

Well. Actually, the drivers side bumpstop fell off about a year ago. I just have not had the time or drive to epoxy it back on. I have had it 100% stuffed and its all good

oh, btw.

The tip is a 16x 3" Boom tube. Any local muffler shop will have them, they are pretty popular with the mallcrawling fullsize boys. It gave my 3vz some extra growl
