I am at the point of replacing my exhaust system on my '73 109 5-door, I wanted to get the opinion of the forum members of what they have changed (if anything), as to the routing of their exhaust systems.
I'd like to take my front door tops off in the summer, and open the rear side glass to help the breeze exit. As we all know, the bread-box shape of these trucks causes a lot of wind turbulence behind the vehicle. What I don't want to happen is to have exhaust fumes getting swirled back and in thru the rear most windows (to the dismay of the dog or any human companions).
#1. EXIT TO THE SIDE BEFORE THE REAR TIRE
#2. EXIT TO THE SIDE AFTER THE REAR TIRE, STRAIGHT OUT
#2a.(no pun intended here) EXIT TO THE SIDE AFTER REAR TIRE, TURNED DOWN EXHAUST TIP
#3. EXIT TO THE REAR, STRAIGHT OUT THE BACK
#3a. EXIT TO THE REAR, TURNED DOWN EXHAUST TIP
I realize these are not the "tightest" road going vehicles when it comes to keeping the outside from seeping in, but anything I can do to increase the pleasure of the drive will help.
Thanks everyone for your input.
