Thread: 3" Exhaust

i can say i have seen YT110 at Blinman trials and a few trips, there are no rub marks on that pipe

It has supa pro bushes each end of the front lower arms(which are the wider bush defender ones), I would think that they limit how far the front diff moves back compared to chopped out/split rubber ones.
It doesn't have huge flex,front shockers are listed as "perentie with 10,000 lb winch" and std Isuzu bump stops,rears are 50mm longer with 25mm lowered bump stops.
IF the tyre did rub a little under full flex it would not bother me that much,I prefer the exhaust outside the chassic.

Having lower bump stops might help? That being the case would make me hesitate still. The inward angle of the wheel is obviously most on bump stop.

Without too much reasoning, I like the idea of the exhaust in the factory spot inside the chassis, but each case will vary of course. Depends on what other mods you have going on!

Factory spot on an isuzu county is outside the rail

My world has just been turned inside out!

And an extended rear bump stop won't change front wheel clearance, whilst the front bump stops on Isuzu One Tens are longer than later Defender bump stops anyway...

Yes I agree with you,

I'm just saying what I have done regarding flex so others have as much information as possible.

Unless you were willing to give up 33" tires and routed it out the side..

Even with the higher starter position on the Land Rover flywheel housing, I'm surprised you can't do the same.

It results in the exhaust dropping to the exact same spot as the NA exhaust on the inside of the chassis rail.

It's funny that JC's faces backwards, but then does a U-turn back in front of the starter... so not quite what I meant! I think isuzurover may have routed down the gap I was imagining...but with forward facing turbo dump.

(stolen from his budget turbo build thread)



Anyway, no matter. I've just had exhaust routing on my mind lately - as you do! I'll post some pics in my members ride thread and you'll see why.

FWIW Here is a photo showing how much room I have.. not much. This is with an R380 bell housing.
