Title: Animal install. and exhaust
Post by: McCune Motorsports on March 27, 2010, 05:43:30 PM
Purchased Animal motor and have a clearance problem.  The muffler hits on the rear bar on the frame.  I  can't slide motor forward to engine mount.  Can the exhaust be bent up to clear rear bar.  Rule book doesn't say if it is legal.  HELP PLEASE

Thanks in advance

Yes you can bend it to clear if needed , the pipe can be shaped however needed but must retain maximum 18" length not counting muffler also must not have any steps or tapers.
