Like the title says, I chopped my jeep and I am wondering what to do with my exhaust. After I chopped it, I drove home from my shop and (as expected) the fumes were terrible. Yesterday, I bought a 90 and a tailpipe extension which brought my exhuast out the passenger side, behind the leaf spring. I still get fumes in the cab, but only when down shifting/slowing down. Has anyone chopped there daily driver and had/solved this problem. I have kids and I don't want any fumes if I can help it.
This is still an option.

 

Honestly I think the exhaust in the picture is ur best bet, I plan on choping my jeep but have no idea what to do as far as uniboody bracing. Any suggestions?

Thanks

 

This is what I did

 

pics of chop and exhaust? unless you exhaust above roof level near the back, I can see low speed/stopped to be bad. if it doesnt go up high enough, I can see the fumes circulating especially into the back seat like wind in a convertible

 

Any other suggestions? I'd like to see more pics of exhaust on chopped xj's.

 

Im starting to think that theirs no real way to eliminate the vortex the draws in the fumes, so rather then completely chopping it I might goo for almost a hummer look and fab a new trunk hatch the starts whear the chopped top would normally start and have the angled trunk look... but im still just trying to figure out if I want evan do the chopped look any opinions?

 

Well I posted the picks because with the rear window open I didn't get any fumes in the cab. Pretty sure that is what you were trying to get away from so I thought I would show you how I did.

 

Im going to draw up some sketches of a few design ideas and post hopefully soon

 

well i know that when i had my side exit exhaust i got fumes in. so later i had my dad bring it to a shop while i was in school and do a full exhaust make over. Aero 2525XL and a 3" tailpipe no turndown. now i don't get any fumes

 

Mine goes out the back and no fumes so far make sure you don't have a big leak some where before you tear it apart

 

sounds to me like you have a leak and choping the top just made it more noticable.

 

I'm making a soft top to go over where I chopped so a stack isn't an option for me. I've turned the exhaust out the side behind the leaf spring and the fumes are only noticeable when I'm slowing down. I think that when I turn my lift gate into a tailgate and install it, there will be less draft coming up from underneath. What do you all think?

 

Here's picture of what I'm working on. This was taken after about 7 hours worth of work. I've got about another 3 into it now. I moved the d pillar up and half ways into the c pillar.
