At the Big Bear trip this last summer my exhaust tip was demolished. After seeing Bruce's bumper and exhaust I decided to route my exhaust tip through the middle of my All Pro rear bumper.

I used an angle grider and a multi-tool to cut do the trimming. A friend of mine welded the scraps to help cover the hole in the body, then I filled the gaps with Bondo and gave it a few coats of Herculiner to seal it off. I had Dual Tone in Pacific Beach re-route the exhaust for me. It's obviously not as clean as Bruce's, but it works.

Bruce'd exhaust

 

Very cool dude. That's a good idea.

 

Yeah for that reason when i got my exhaust i had mine run over the axle, then cut and tucked up right between the spare and the leaf spring, so it sits up out of the way. Really to have it come out the side is unneccesary, just for looks i guess. The part that ive always thought hangs pretty low and have wondered about is where the cat is... It hangs REALLY low in comparison to the rest of the undercarriage, has anybody ever done anything about this?

 

That's pretty nice work there Josh!
Have you noticed any gains? This must be somewhat type-R related

 

very good idea. May have to do it on on my 1st gen runner! I wonder the same about the cats...Very volnerable

 

hey that's sweet josh!!!

 

I did something like that many years ago with my 1st gen:



Now I just run it over the top of the frame and down in about the same spot.

 

hi Phalanx:

could you post some pix of your allpro rear bumper.
i have the same runner and was thinking of that same
bumper for mine but wanted to know what it looked like,
allpro only shows it on a first gen.

thanks
woody

 

i think its pretty cool
