Exhaust system on RVR

[RVR97]

Can you guys post up some pics of your after market rvr exht system?

I'm building my own 3"inch straight exhaust prefer no bends, need some ideas on the route, so far the RVR has a 3" down pipe pointing staright to the back center lsd diff; currently has no flex "bought 1 from ebay on its way" and no cat. I have a rough idea where the exhaust will end, and its going under the fuel tank so.. will there be any risk that the exhaust pipe getting to close to the fuel tank even though I've made up a custom alu heat shield for it? I might need to wrap the exhaust pipe section with header wrap just to be safe uh....

Should I go with a cannon muffler or just straight through with a tip at the end? Will it loose back pressure without the cannon? If im going to make thing easier I can just have the pipe run center below the lsd and have it pointed below and between the number plate "see pic". Im sure alot would disagree how the pipe ends :lol:

i got 3 3" 90 degree stainless mandrels left over from my ute. cost me about 30 each with post. if you need one.
also got a wrx 3" steel system with cannon. you could chop it up for your rvr.

heat shield looks plenty good enough. there not much room for exhaust is there? not like a lancer with room for a tailshaft and a 3" system.

Definitely theres no room for a 3" tube, the tailshalft takes up the entire space. the only way is to go under the fuel tank. Ive been doing searches about the risks of running ehxaust pipe too close to the fuel tank so is kinda worries me. this what I've had in mind, using the 3 - 5mm thick alu plate that Ive made up, pop riveted it to the fuel cage + the exhaust section running under the fuel tank with be header wrapped. What do you guys think? Enough of protection? Hopefully i wont get blown up while driving :lol:

Jack I've already got a 3" magnaflow cannon so thank u for the offer, unfortunately this my 1st time welding and no access to tig machine "never use one before" so I'll be using mig welding up mild steel tubes for my very 1st exhaust system... wish me luck!

My Exhaust

 

[RVR97]

awesome! Is the dump pipe connected with the flex pipe touching the oil sump?

 

[dj_konix]

nah it clears but its a beesdick away from it

 

[4piknup]

thats a nice exhaust setup. cost plenty i bet.

 

[dj_konix]

Ful custom job, all 3" polished stainless mandrel bent, $1200 all up.

 

[4piknup]

no wonder you took photos of it. it is a piece of art

here is mine on the jummy. cost 1k for the tig, 100 for argon, 50 for rods, and 1.5 days work. 170 for mandrels i didnt end up using. i not game to polish it as it would show how bad the welds are. i think yours was cheaper.

 

[dj_konix]

how much clearance do you get once its back down on the ground? mine had to be modified since the pictures as it came too close and rubbed right through on my rear driveshaft

 

[4piknup]

dunno, i dont have rear driveshaft yet but it is the exhaust out of the smashed gsr up to the flanges. i cut it at the flange and cut and shut it to get it over the axle as the gsr one went under right close to the rear diff. i tried to keep it close to the underside of the tray as i realise a solid rear axle will be larger and higher than the jummy one. there is heaps of clearance as it sits now and also when ute is sitting on bump stops there is still couple of inches room. the pic is at road height with loaded jack stands, and the pipe is routed up the gsr fuel tank hump in the middle of the tank. no rubbing yet
