I destroyed my exhuast up at Chinamans Gulch a few weeks ago so I decided to go a little, above and beyond, to fix it. I had it done at a local exhaust shop and they did a killer job.
New Exhaust!

Yokohama Geolander ATS 265/70/16 and I have no idea what kind of wheels i have. My stock wheels were corroded and not holding air so i just picked those out at Discount Tire

this is.....interesting...in a good way!
that keeps the exhaust higher so it doesnt hit stuff...good thinking!
and the bumper-thru design is pretty cool too
well done, sir

That is a pretty cool idea!
I believe this is the first time I've seen someone do this. But it looks great!

Thanks you everyone for your complements, I really appreciate it!
BTW, I forgot to tell everyone that the exhaust that I broke (just from the axle back) was actually a Doug Thorley system and it was totally an accident :moping:
It sound the same from inside the runner but standing next to it, I think I can hear some deeper tones but it's probably my imagination.
Thats actually why I did it. I come down on my exhaust all the time when I'm wheelin, so this was what I came up with so it wouldnt happen again.

Is the doug thorley the one that is the exact same as TRD? I remember you telling me something about that....

no thats the Borla system. The TRD exhaust is the borla exhaust. People argue which is better but they're all pretty much the same.

Not bad. I definitely like the pipe up that high. I think it would look better if the cut was a little cleaner, but I know that's hard to do.

I was just up there camping like a week ago. I woulda contacted you if i knew you lived in Buena Vista. We ran chinaman gulch, williams pass, hancock pass, and Grizzly lake. You can check out the pics here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?t=53903

Many may not know him, but there's a user on here, Chaplain, who also did this a while back.
He lives here in Mission Viejo. His 4Runner is very cool, nice if he'd post up some more.
I'm afraid I don't have a photo.

Any issues with the exhaust tip rubbing up against the cut out? I know that the exhaust is supported with rubber hangers which gives the system a bit of play. Maybe some sort of black rubber grommet around the exhaust cut out would keep it from rubbing and emphasize the chrome tip. Just a suggestion

I thought that would have been a problem too, but I've had it for 3 days now and it's been fine

This is definitely the next mod that I’ll be doing. Out of curiosity, what did the muffler shop charge you and what’s the best way to cut that hole in the back side fender? Also where did you buy the muffler tip? Thanks!
Are these your wheels?
