89pathfinder Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Just wondering if anyone with a cut off exhaust have trouble in deep puddles? Last year my tailpipe got crushed by a rock when i was four wheeling, so i cut it off right after the muffler. This year when i have gone wheeling the muffler fills up with water and the truck stalls. It will start right back up but there is tons of steam pouring out of the muffler. And it bogs down quite a bit. I was just curious because ive seen several trucks with nothing after the muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've sat the Pathy in a hot spring with the tailpipe under water and it never filled up the muffler. Weird. *brble brble brble* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have had that happen on a patrol that I had because the tail pipe was really short. I would get one back on, this would be a great time to use a bigger pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Might try drilling a drain hole in your muffler, just a 1/8" by the rear flange at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I've sat the Pathy in a hot spring with the tailpipe under water and it never filled up the muffler. Weird. *brble brble brble* All the minerals (incl salt) in a hot spring cant be too friendly on a vehicle can it? I soppose if you wash it well when yer done wheelin it don't matter tho. just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89pathfinder Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Alright problem solved, i took a section of the old tailpipe, welded it back on, so now it goes up and dumps out over the rear axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
