Not a thing to do but a thing to seriously consider for the next maintenance schedule on my S-10. Was watching ol' Bill Carlton go at it on Texas Metal the previous evening and the project on the lift needed a new exhaust system. Space for all the bits was tight so the answer they came up with was to move the mufflers all the way to almost the rear of the vehicle. And, thinks me, what a neat idea. Right now I have the same issue only worse under my little truck with the cats and the mufflers and cross pipe all competing for territory. If I relocate the mufflers further down range to under the back of the truck box, That gives me the room to bring the cats and the cross pipe further down stream, as well as leaving me room to totally rerun the drivers side so that it will stand further clear of the gas tank. The design right now is so tight on that side that the exit pipe on the muffler has to take an immediate hard 90 degree turn to avoid crashing into the tank wall. Not happy making because the issue limits both exhaust flow and what ways and means I can use to make the joint/connection. At the rear, the only issue is the spare tire hanging from the rafters and resonator style mufflers just barely bigger than the pipes they serve could be the cure for that.
I already know that i have to rebuild the matching exhaust run post muffler on the driver's side to match what I did with the passengers. This would be my opportunity to rectify an ongoing nuisance that has been a chronic pain in my eyes from falling rusticular matter for many years.
