Author Topic: Exhaust idea for the caddy TD (Read 3189 times)

I saw the pic of the caddy in Malone's TD post and I found a pipe at a motorcycle swap meet that just might work on my upcoming 1.6TD swap...

The pipe is 2.5 inch if not 3 inches in diameter and even has some brackets/stand-offs already on it. Sweet.

I think it'd be pretty cool to have a stack on the caddy, but I really don't feel like cutting a hole in the bed. A friend suggested that I run it on the outside of the bed along side the cab. Any ideas?

I'd say just cut the hole in the bed... but make sure to rust proof it. Putting it on the outside will make it easy to get knocked off in the parking lot by some idiot.

Run them just in front of the rear axles!

Or like this

Is the pipe exhaust at 1.8m legal? you'll gas everyone that is walking/biking next to your verhicle..

just in front of the rear axle looks nice

Maarten, with cars like that on the streets of Holland, you are worried about a vertical stack on veeman's Caddy? :lol:

FWIW, vertical exhaust stacks are completely legal in the USA. Dodge even sold a pickup truck with them from the factory.
