Title: Exhaust Pipping
Post by: Paul on July 30, 2012, 05:56:38 PM



Looking for advice on running exhaust pipping or muffler up the back of the bus. The bus is a MCI 102 A3 with a 10" roof raise. Wife is complaining the car is getting too dirty, the car is white.

I have a couple of idea but will wait for more info. We have a good stock muffler and like to use it.
Do they make a stack muffler for a DD 8V92.

            
         Thanks in advance

Unless you have a recently rebuilt engine that was meticulously sealed when put together, there's a very good chance the "dirty car" is a result of something other than the exhaust. Most DD's just leak. Not because they have to, but because most people are not interested in the constant maintenance it takes to keep one clean. If you're one of those guys that tears half the engine down at the sight of a drop of oil, more power to ya. If not, well, I'm just sayin'. YYMV.

You'll have to make up a custom job.  I had the same issue, it turned out to be leaks primarily, but I built the stack anyway.  I ordered parts from a local truck exhaust company and installed it myself.  All in it was $750.

As noted, what makes you think it's the exhaust on the car?

Anything that drips under the coach will be worn on the back of the coach and on the toad.

Turn the exhaust tip out to the side a little more, easier to see what the engine is doing in the mirror that way.

It will be very sad to spend the resources on extensive exhaust modifications and still have a dirty car...

happy coaching!

The dirt on bus is gray and harder too get off then oil spots.

I will try turning the exhaust tip out to the side a little more.

Thanks Buswarrior
