anyone running open exhaust? - mr_manny - 11-03-2010
I'm getting ready to do my exhaust, and am sooooo tempted to dump it out behind the passenger tire
my om617 is not my DD...
thanks

There is no way to get the exhaust over there without causing ground clearance issues.

that depends on what vehicle is the beneficiary of the 3.0L turbo :p
Currently I'm in the middle of replacing my Toyota gasser with an om617 - toyota fj40 landcruiser.
I believe some of you may familiar w/Luke's kit (4x4 labs)?
Replacing a motor provides some opportunities, so I'm also going fj60 axles (3" wider) and finally getting power-steering
Going out the back sounds more passenger-friendly then behind the front tire.
I found someone who has a buddy w/a om617 in a jeep w/straight exhaust, going to check it out next friday.
keep you guys posted,
manny

I doubt it would matter in a truck like that, probably tons of road noise anywhere but off road!
It might be nice to really hear the engine note while he's crawling around though, its not too loud really, in comparison with other motors volume with a straight pipe

Heck, go open header and route intake out a snorkle...

Ditto. I believe the tire noise would drown out any drone of the engine.
Interior drone is all about the tip too. Even a simple turndown tip can greatly reduce the noise.
As for that Jeep, I say you should make a stack in front of the right door.

Stack and snorkel and take pics!

Forced is right about tips...
When I unbolted the exhaust from the down pipe on my 617 turbo the open pipe was facing towards the rear of the car (obviously) and it was crazy annoying. It resonated so bad the exhaust went back on two minutes later.
After that I cut that last section off the downpipe so that the end of the pipe points slightly back right at the ground and I have been driving like that for about three months and love it! I will finish it off coming out the passenger fender someday but for now its great. Sounds super throaty and NEVER resonates one bit.

thought I would share my inspiration

My 84 300td is running straight pipe out the right side in front of the rear tire.
The sound is great!!
RE: anyone running open exhaust? - George3soccer - 11-09-2010
How low is your 300
RE: anyone running open exhaust? - nickw - 11-09-2010

It's sitting stock, I've had no problems with it dragging I drive off road a lot and it's been ok.
RE: anyone running open exhaust? - George3soccer - 11-09-2010
Well yea stock height is fine. Try putting that in the rear or even try to behind the front right wheel on a very low w201.
RE: anyone running open exhaust? - willbhere4u - 11-09-2010
AH put it out the RH fender like the 300slr
RE: anyone running open exhaust? - George3soccer - 11-09-2010
I sure wish, ill keep it clean and run it to the rear with a 3" turndown.

I totally agree. When my downpipe rotted and I went to a straight pipe I always thought if it was too loud I could put a supertrapp at the end but found it unnecessary.
