custom exhaust 80 series what have you guys done

[howsie]

basically looking for ideas as i want to cut sills out and replace them with sidesteps / scrub bars. Problem is as most 80 series owners would know is that factory exhaust is on drivers side outside chassis. Cars a 93 rv 80 series cruiser. 1fz-fe 4.5ltr petrol. Manual.

You can get 100 series extractors to bolt straight on, they go down the inside of your chassis with out to much fuss...So I'm told!!!
Can anyone confirm this?

cheers, Scott

I built a 3" system fo my turbo diesel 80series. it runs between the chassis rail and the transfer case/gearbox.
it is fairly tight between the transfer case and chassis, about 10mm clearance either side of 3" pipe.

fair enough how do you go having it that close to gearbox and transfer as exhaust shops ive spoken to reckon that it'll be too much heat if its that close

[80's_delirious]

I did think of that, and decided it wasnt likely to be a problem. I havent noticed any difference in the amount of heat coming into the cab.
Also figured that a lot of engine/exhaust heat passes along the transmission tunnel driving anyway.
Also 105series cruisers have the exhaust between chassis and gearbox anyway, so mr Toyota didnt think it was a problem

reviving an old thread here but looking at removing muffler or resonator how loud would this be im looking at getting a little bit of a note but not so much as to attact to much attention from the cops

[mick80]

just got my resonater cut out yesterday made a little improvement but next step will be a straight through muffer
cheers mick

100 series exhuast header is inside the rail can be used with custom brakets to hold cat
i have 3.5 inch turbo dump pipe running from cluch master down fire wall then between chassie and
gearbox its raped in heat prof tape from turbo to back of gearbox with no extra cab temp
take that tape off the floor will get hot to hot same with gear box
