There is no way to get the exhaust over there without causing ground clearance issues.

that depends on what vehicle is the beneficiary of the 3.0L turbo :p

Currently I'm in the middle of replacing my Toyota gasser with an om617 - toyota fj40 landcruiser.
I believe some of you may familiar w/Luke's kit (4x4 labs)?

Replacing a motor provides some opportunities, so I'm also going fj60 axles (3" wider) and finally getting power-steering Smile

Going out the back sounds more passenger-friendly then behind the front tire.

I found someone who has a buddy w/a om617 in a jeep w/straight exhaust, going to check it out next friday.

keep you guys posted,

I doubt it would matter in a truck like that, probably tons of road noise anywhere but off road! Big Grin

It might be nice to really hear the engine note while he's crawling around though, its not too loud really, in comparison with other motors volume with a straight pipe

Ditto. I believe the tire noise would drown out any drone of the engine.
Interior drone is all about the tip too. Even a simple turndown tip can greatly reduce the noise.

As for that Jeep, I say you should make a stack in front of the right door.

Forced is right about tips...

When I unbolted the exhaust from the down pipe on my 617 turbo the open pipe was facing towards the rear of the car (obviously) and it was crazy annoying. It resonated so bad the exhaust went back on two minutes later.

After that I cut that last section off the downpipe so that the end of the pipe points slightly back right at the ground and I have been driving like that for about three months and love it! I will finish it off coming out the passenger fender someday but for now its great. Sounds super throaty and NEVER resonates one bit.

I totally agree. When my downpipe rotted and I went to a straight pipe I always thought if it was too loud I could put a supertrapp at the end but found it unnecessary.
