tell me about supertrap exhausts

They are glass packy in the sound department, on v-8's anyway. I like the rockrail idea. You could run the 2" or 2 1/2" exhaust tube through a rockrail with holes in the exhaust tube and and stuff the rock rail full of exhaust packing, and put a small turn down coming out the end if it. :D
 
and the rockrail would need to be 3" (square) in order to make it work...

besides which, how do you get through the frame? I'm not cutting a hole to go through it, and I'm certainly not going under it.....and wehre does the muffler go?

this is a trail vehicle.
 
heres anothe ieda I looked and don't think anyone poped up'I'm not sure how they sound yet since I haven't had to justifi having exasust done yet but I'm wanting to try one..http://www.jegs.com/photos/71094050.jpg.
Super traps are nice for atvs and motorycycles since you czan tune in the power and noise you want but for a a jeep I'd say its a waste for the money. ut hey by kinda coppying a flowmaste and such you could just build your own and make it rock proffvery easy.
 
The rock rail would be the muffler, and I figured if you are thinking about routing the exhaust through the cab getting to the rock rail wouldn't be a problem.
 
beez

whys it have to be a supertrapp?

if you run it up through the floor and out back, why cant you turn a 3ch flowmaster or something similar on its side?

trapps are loud on everything ive heard them on..

I dunno really..... i have a 2 chamber FM right now, and i don't wanna use it. space allowences are my main concern, I don't have much....actually, i haven't really PROVEN I don't have the space since I haven't run my rear links yet.....my kite string links tell me it'll be tough!
 
id rather run it in the bed than mess with a tight fit underneath. seems like it would cut down on the headache.

dynomax makes slimlime round race mufflers that are supposedly pretty quiet. maybe you could check on those for use in the bed in place of a supertrapp.
 
How about just running it INTO the cab, and forget about cutting a hole to get it back out? :D

As long as everyone else is throwing out nutty ideas...
What about making your own combination manifold/muffler. The exhaust dumps straight from the cylinders into a resonator/glasspack/muffler combination that all fits underneath the intake manifold. After it all collects, you only need to worry about snaking the exhaust tubes around your new suspension and out the back/sides.:dunno:
 
I would think the hard part about running the exhaust through the cab would be running the right hand exit from the manifold to the left side of the XJ over the tranny hump. You could run it down the right side but I would think it might get a lil warm for the driver. Boxxing in the floor to fit 2.5" exhuast pipe then wrap the pipe 'might' cut down on the heat. I'm new here and not yet a member so take what I have to say as you want...My two cents would be to chanel the floor pan then run a stock or near stock muffler in back, you can find skinny round mufflers pretty cheap. I think some old motorhomes ran them...andy

Are they going to be welded prior to leaving for Moab?

I did notice the one in the picture of the wishbone installed!

Why run one. You can get those small racing mufflers and just use two. They don't even have to be next to each other.

Have you looked at the boat mufflers? I bet you could be them to take up less room than a supertrap even running it out the bed.

Crash does have a point though. Even though your a city slicker I don't think we should talk you into suicide just yet. You would need to install one of those fancy RV vents with a fan. That wold look cool, I even know a place where you could get the plastic cover in hot pink.

Just some ideas:
1. Install an oversized snorkel, run the exhaust pipe 'inside' the snorkel, kind of like the zero clearance piping they use for home furnaces and vented kerosene heaters. You extend the center exhaust out the capped top and perforate the outer pipe for air in below the capped top.

2. Cut the rockers out and install 4x4 steel tube like that guy in germany did.

3. Run dual exhaust 'inside' the frame rails or re-inforce the frame rails with 2x4 tubing as an exhaust pipe.
