Exhaust fumes
'73 CJ5 258. I get a lot of fumes when I'm driving down the road with
the doors off and back window up. I even get a little when the top is off. My exhaust pipe stops right next to the drivers side rear shackle between the frame rails. I was wondering if a different exit location would help. I thought about taking it out the drivers side behind the tire in the fenderwell. I need to keep it "up" so I won't tear it off on the trail. I can't go in front of the tire do to the muffler length/location. BTW...this is not a tuning issue. The engine runs great, gets expected MPG and doesn't load up lugging along in 4WD low. Any suggestions? |
Re: Exhaust fumes
the end of the exhaust (the tip) *must* be outside the perimeter of the
vehicle. this is the only way to rid yourself of most of the fumes. -- bob z. "people with less brain power than you are doing more difficult things everyday"© |

Re: Exhaust fumes
The exhaust is suppposed to come out on the side, behind the rear tire. Mine
comes out the back like you describe, and I got fumes too. I don't get fumes when the back is closed, or when the top is off. Since I hosed my soft top a few years ago, and the hardtop door latches broke soon afterward, I haven't used any top or doors for years.

Re: Exhaust fumes
That's at least illegal since the dump tubes of the sixties. Buy a
bendable exhaust pipe and route it to at least the front of the wheel, pointed out: http://members.aol.com/Larr------/larr7103.jpg God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ cj573cj5 wrote: > > '73 CJ5 258.
