Exhaust system

A. Muffler Relocation If the vehicle design requires an exhaust system reconfiguration to keep it from impinging on part of the vehicle, the re-routing must be done using tubing having an ID of 32mm (1.25 in). Any remote mounted exhaust system must use the original muffler and must be securely mounted so that it does not vibrate loose during the competition. B. Muffler Support Support of the exhaust pipe and muffler are strongly recommended. C. Exhaust Pipe Exhaust pipe may not protrude inside of the exhaust port, so as to alter port configuration. D. Exhaust Pipe Length Any exhaust pipe length is allowed, however pipe length may not be adjustable. E. Exhaust Pipe Holes & Tubes No extra holes or tubes are allowed in the exhaust pipe.
