Exhaust - Direction?

[Guest Phil Slater]

Folks

 

Is there any received wisdom on the final positioning of the Exhuast/Silencer?

 

That is, "should" the end of the pipe be at right angles to the body side, as the position of the fixing bracket, welded on by RH, seems to indicate? Or, "can" it be angled down towards the ground? Also is either of the positions, or anything in between likely to affect the decibles when it comes to the noise test?

 

Any info much appreciated.

 

 

TIA

This question is a bit like the battery question...

 

The correct position is at right angles, that how I set mine...

No the correct way is like mine pointing down at 30degrees so that the meter gets a nice echo off the ground

Longboarder has suggested it's routed back into the car under the seats . He reckons it will keep the decibles well down

 

It'll certainly keep the bum warm in winter

If DaveQ turns his head to the left when driving there will be hot air coming out of both sides of his car
