Rear resonator delete and side out
All,
Sitting in the driveway today it occurred to me that the rear resonator and rear exhaust out look droopy and pose a hazard for backing out of a hole. I went by a muffler shop and the owner showed me some pictures of Disco IIs with a side out--through the rear quarter panel. He said it could be easily accomplished with a 90 degree turn and an extension to just outside the body panel.
Has anyone done this and are there any negatives?
Best,
Charlie V

Looks great! Which muffler is that? I assume you changed the middle muffler? I like the trim piece. I could not find one at the time. The shop that did mine did muscle cars. The owner told me to get a piece of d fuel line... Slit it and mount for protection. Since then I went thru a 'black out' look and removed previous chrome tip and painted the pipe. I replaced the center muffler years ago with a SS Borla.
The location of the cut out would have changed it I had a Greg Davis bumper or opted for a rear bumper with side aprons. Probably would have exited it differently if I had gone that route.

I guess I should find the ring before I cut the hole to be sure it is the right size.
I'm not too concerned about the plastic. I've held my hand at the exhaust and it didn't burn me from about 4 inches away.
I can't remember the brand but I think the muffler is called a super 44. Something close to that anyway. Makes my turtle sound fast. Removing the resonator should give it a tiny bit more rumble.
