Default modified exhaust ideas

I crumpled up my stock tailpipe the other day caught in a ravine and was wondering what others are doing to re-route their exhaust. I was thinking of cutting a hole in the side of my RR rear bumper and running the tailpipe through there as a flush mount. Is there room to run the exhaust over the frame? Also, i've seen pics underneath lifted jeeps where the exhaust isnt even visible. Does anyone have any pics to show what you've done to move your exhaust to provide more clearance?

I thought of that but I'm looking for some power gains as well so this should kill 2 birds with one stone. I just don't like paying over 400 for somthing so simple.

Default Muffler shop / DIY

You could go with a round Magnaflow muffler or the Flowmaster Hushpower, mount it under the body up front by the tranny cross member. I used the band sytle clamps & flowmaster. After installing the muffler I drove over to a local muffler shop and had them bend up a tailpipe out of 2 1/2" stainless steel tubing (they had in stock). As for your evap can , as long as you mount the muffler as far forward as possible you shouldn't have a problem. Check out some of the muffler relocate kits, on th 4dr you really don't need the move the cannister. 2dr you HAVE to.

Did you try Northridge 4x4. I think I payed like 349.00. It exits out the drivers side rear.
