Muffler Location Question
Two questions:
1) Can I mount a Flowmaster Super 44 close to the evap canister on a 2DR safely? Looks like it would be cutting it close....
If not then:
2)Anyone mounted a flowmaster (or similar) muffler in the stock location, but higher up and more out of the way?
I'd like some pics and may a bit of a write-up.
I'd want to show the exhaust shop how to do it...so it is at least better than the factory's enormous rock magnet.
Thanks!!!

Not a flow master, but gives you an idea of the clearance between the muffler and the Evap canister if you choose not to relocate the evap at this time...Been running this set up for a while with no issues on the canister & the muffler being that close to each other....

I feel like an idiot, but I have to ask. What is the Evap canister? I have seen the Evap canister relocation brackets and lots of people talking about doing the mod. I can see it's prone to breakage in it's current location.

Below is the general information of that part:

An evaporative canister is part of the evaporative system that is within the emission system. Hydrocarbons are a form of pollution that gasoline releases as it evaporates or after is is burned. While fuel is stored inside the tank, fumes build up and are retained inside this canister. The canister contains charcoal that absorbs the hydrocarbons. When the engine is started, a valve opens that allows fresh air to come in and purge the fumes (hydrocarbons) into the air intake and then into the combustion chamber for burning. I understand that more hydrocarbons are released into the atmosphere by leaving your fuel cap off, than what comes out of your tailpipe while the engine runs. If there is a leak anywhere in the evaporative system, such as a bad hose, canister leak or leaving the fuel cap loose, the check engine light will set.

Doesn't hang too low. But I am going to move it up a little for more track bar clearance, since my axle is stretched back 1.25". All I gotta do is rework the hangers a little. Piece of cake. I'm building a 3-link rear and ditching the rear track bar, so I'll probably re-locate the muffler somewhere else later.
It's a bolt-on kit from Rusty's Offroad. It's sold as a Cherrybomb muffler, but is actually a Flowmaster 50. Pretty good deal.
