Dumb question number ?...
I'm in the process of installing the exhaust system on my bugeye and it's 2" diameter from the headers to the muffler. The pipe runs under the car with about 1" to 1.5" of clearence, goes under the rear axle and into the muffler. In this installation I'm using the full size Harley muffler and the main pipe hits the axle (car on jackstands) when the muffler is pulled up into position. Is this an issue when the car is on the ground or do I need to have the main pipe bent up at the pipe to muffler joint? If I have the pipe bent up the muffler will become a small rain barrel and collect water. I guess another option is to have the pipe with a u bend under the axle, but that just doesn't seem right. Thoughts and ideas?
Thanks, Rut
