Anyone run exhaust turn downs before the rear axle?

[1BAD68]

I have an annoying squeeking from my exhaust due to hardly any clearance above my rear axle (custom shock mounts)
So. I'm thinking of just cutting them off before the rear end.
Any exhaust fume problems?

When I got my car that's how the previous owner had the exhaust.  The fumes were terrible.  I did like the sound though.

Yep, I had them on the car when I got it and the fumes got in the car big time.  I had them turned our to come out just infront of the rear wheels and it worked out great.  I have a 3" system and did not have much room to go over the rear as well.

Check your State Inspection laws first .

I have mine turned down beofre the axle and had no problems with fumes then again, maybe i got use to it  definitly sounds better imo

every car i have is dumped right infront of the rear axle,  i dont have a problem with fumes on any of my cars.

just a thought...  last summer I was having bad fumes after installing the full exhaust.
I didn't have a trunk seal but after sealing the trunk lid the fumes went away.
Did you guys that were having bad fumes have a trunk seal in place?

I had also fumes in to the cab for a while I didn't have trunk seal.

stay away from the dumps. make a set of tailpipes work or rig a Nascar style exhaust.

the fumes will make you sick, plus in most places they are illegal.

A friend of mine has turndowns before the axle on his cougar, and the sound is unbearable on low RPM's .

  what mufflers? i had flowmasters for a while and it was terrible at low rpms, the drone was un bearable.  the right muffler shouldnt be an issue

I do not know, but you could be right, there is a horrible drone in the coupe on low rpms, he needs a whole new system.

I had no trunk plugs  and then a member here hooked me up and now quieter and no fumes.
