Good Evening
I'm wrapping up my new exhaust system. Installed 2 new 2 1/2" Dynomax Turbo
Flow mufflers up front after the headers that feed into a Y, then 3" exhaust
from the Y back.
I've noticed that most exhausts exit to the side at the rear passenger side. As
I was installing the new 3" line through the frame it looked like it would work
great just sticking straight out the back.
So is it best to put in a 90 and exit the side or let it stick straight out the
back ?????? Since I see most of them out the side, what am I missing here ??
Other than blowing the exhaust right onto what you tow or ????
Thanks

Ray,
For what it's worth, I just finished mine and ran it straight out the back.
When I was getting estimates, the shops cautioned against the right angle
because of the proximity of the window.
I also figured that I could always go back and cut the pipe and put a 90 on if I wanted to take it out the side.

Just remember that if you back up and run that straight pipe into
something,
the force will be transferred into that expensive Y-pipe up
front.
Or, if you cross a dip going into a gas station and mash the
tailpipe against
the bumper, it won't be able to relieve it's flatulence. LOL

Your taking a simple but not a very good way.
The pipe need to start to raise up to keep from dragging in the back.
The most expensive part on our kit is the Tail pipe as it has 4 bends in tit
to work and fit properly. All are Mandrel bent so there is no kinks.
You'll see what I'm saying when you do it your way like lot of others.

I didn't like the idea of another 90 deg. bend in the run and didn't want straight back since I towed. The 45 deg. bend has worked well for the past 12 years. Taper the end cut and it will minimize the likelyhood of drag.

IIRC if you put a 90° bend in a pipe it's like
adding seven feet of straight pipe vis-à-vis pressure drop.

There is no way that is even remotely true.
Well maybe on a high pressure fluid flow or something, but not on an already over sized exhaust pipe.
I ran a straight 90 out the back. I'm pretty sure the bumper will drag before it hits.

Keith,
I worked as an engineer / field service rep for Hamilton Standard.
When we worked with the Xian Aircraft Company in China re-designing the air
conditioning ducting in their Y-7 aircraft there were all kinds of 90° bends
in the ducting they had in that aircraft. In fact the bend in the engine
bleed air ducting at the juncture of the wing and fuselage was greater than
90°!
We told them the same thing and they didn't believe us either so we
instrumented a duct with a 90° bend with pressure pickups and demonstrated
the effect of the bend vis-à-vis the pressure drop.
Unfortunately it was over 10 years ago and I don't remember the specific
flow rates and pressure drops.
Regards,
Rob M.

Keith, is that why all our GMC motorhome dash AC & heaters work so well
without any changes?

Rob,
After traveling 20+ feet from the engine, I don't think the exhaust
having to make a 90 deg to exit has so much as an iota of effect on
efficiency. If you can detect the loss of performance from this, the
seat of your pants is a lot thinner than mine.

I have always been told it was a gmc tradition that men wear speedo's when driving the coach.

I finished the exhaust system yesterday......big job doing it in the driveway
crawling in and out from under that coach 9 TRILLION times the last 3 days.
But I enjoy doing things myself and it turned out great, I never dreamed the
coach could be this quiet. We previously had 2 mufflers failing with 2 pipes
that exited out the side in front of the entry door.
I started right at the headers, had two new 2 1/2 " reducer pipes made locally
and the muffler shop also supplied new header to reducer gaskets.
Those reducers went into 2 Dynomax Turbo Flow mufflers, from those I had two
10" pipes bent at approx 18 degree angles, those went between the mufflers and
a pre-made Y that I purchased.
From the Y I used a 3" 90, over to the frame rail, another 90, then straight
back until the frame raises up and then another 90 with a short extension out
the side.
I used mostly band clamps and several standard U bolt clamps, and one hanger
at the Y to hold that end of the 2 mufflers up.
Fun project and we are very pleased on how quiet it is now in the cab. Haven't
had it on the highway yet, but we'll see how that works out on sound.

I have always been told it was a gmc tradition that men wear speedo's when
driving the coach.
