i have been to many exhaust shops in orlando, including road runner in kissimmee. i can not find anyone that will run exhaust pipe under the gas tank.

does anyone know of a shop that will or any one that has had it done?

thanks

how about in the tampa or cocoa/melbourne area?

 

anyone

 

theres a reason they wont do it so if one wont prolly none will..... and you prolley shouldn't be doin it. am i right? why do you need it to do that anyway?

 

they all claim liability for obvious reasons, im not debating why they won't. i am seeking some who will perform the task. i have header wroap for heat barrier protection.

the reason i want to do it: the less bends in a pipe the better it will flow.

i see a lot of people installing mufflers with the **** eyed position.
this is a knock off from the true N1 design of running the straightest possible pipe and have 1 small mild bend just enought for the muffler to hang in the stock location.

most of the honda owners you see imitate this design because of how cool it looks per say. when thier pipe actually is bent and routed around the fuel tank and just over or under the LCA, then bent just enough for the muffler to give that slanted look.

 

its not worth the risk for the extra 2hp you are gonna gain.

another thing is do you know how nasty an N1 muffler looks when the preceeding pipe is routed around the fuel tank, and hung where the tip from the transverse exhaust system. like the pic below
and this

not to mention the ground clearance you'll lose. personally i cant stand slanted exhausts... but thats a different topic in itself.

then why even run a "n1" type muffler? you honestly think its gonna gain you ANY noticable horsepower just because the tip is slanted?

this is turning into exactly what i didn't want it to. someone trying to tell me what they want me to do. all i asked was does anyone know of a central fl exhaust shop that will run pipe under the fuel tank. not; hey im trying for the rice effect what do you think.

i have a genuine Apexi universal N1 muffler, brand new that i picked up for $100.00 over 1 yr ago. i want to avoid the look of the above posted pics, and all of those bends of the traditional route of the stock exhaust path. the straightes possible pipe will yield the best possible flow. this is what i want.

the people above cared nothing about exhaust performance, and only wanted the N1 look. and it looks trashy they way they did it.

now can you answer the original topic question? if no please be quiet, and go away. do you even live in central florida?
