Guest gprix1 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 This is a reply I added in a "Miscellaneous Tech" thread but thought it would be better to have ask it here in the exhaust forum. Here's an idea I've kinda tossed around in that empty space between my ears. I've been thinking of leaving the stock fuel tank where it is, cutting the front and back of the spare tire-well open and having the mufflers actually inside the spare tire compartment and exiting straight out the back ala Mclaren style. Of course I would have to build a cover over it for inside the car to keep heat, noise, and exhaust out but what do y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 thats sorda what i had in minde for when i get a body kit.. so the muff tip would be coming the flush and in the middle of the rear skirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleek Z Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Did either of you check out Dan Juday's project photos ? He cut the entire spare tire well out, braced and and ran a dual system straight back through the rear valance "ala McClaren" Check it out. Your idea and more has been executed with class. Next, check out the Rio Vista Event photos for more exhaust system ideas. - SLEEK Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Everytime I look at Dan's pics of that rear deck with the little gas tank and battery relocation, not to mention the cool exhaust set up I get inspired However, I think that I will try something like that on my next project and try to get my Z running by this fall...at least that is my goal.

Guest Drewz Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 As long as enough air gap is around the fuel tank as to not end up preheating the fuel .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Lone, At least Dan had the cajones to swap 'em out lol Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 All right you guys, knock it off. I guess I'll never live that down. Anyways, thanks for the NICE things that were said about my car. Sheeeesh! Here is a shot with the heat shield in place. I had the same conserns about the proximity to the tank. I've got lots more shots. One day Eric will put them up so all can see. Right Eric? Eric?

Guest Anonymous Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Man oh man, Dan can't you afford any more than your favorite crescent wrench to tighten those bolts. I at least expected Craftsman or even Snap On. A red handle so you won't lose it too ! One size fits all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Juday Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I can't win. Now I'm going to have to scrutinize every pic I post beforehand. Red handle? Oh, you mean the blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 That is the best looking rear exhaust around. No doubt you are in serious competitive mode for the Rio Vista exhaust pipe shoot out in 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
