Rear Muffler Replacement? Recomendations

I think you have to run it like that if you want to relocate the spare. A new tip and muffler shouldn't set you back much more than $200, a lot less if you get the right place and right muffler. You will have a hole in the bumper from where the old tip used to be though, so it might look a little untidy. Just keep it in mind!

I got my new muffler and tip from Rob Bliss exhausts on the north side of brissy ($180 fitted with new gasket for cat), they are the shop that worked with Loch Stewart to design the NA gear!

I have done the relocating trick and used 2 1/4 inch piping with supercat muffler. I did that size as I thought at the time I would turbo but probably wont now. The problem I found was its too loud (I have extractors and CAI) and I had to put two 2ft hot dogs in to stop the drone. I've since made up a removable baffle which has quitened it down especially around 4000 rpm. If I did it again I would use 2\" and probably use a lukey walker L0099 (listen to it on autospeed.drive.com.au) with the same lenght hotdog. Shouldnt cost too much as muffler is around $80.

Relocating the spare still has two doglegs in the pipe but is the only way it can be done.

the only other thing that i have done is...

if you are a dwarf like me (5 foot 7ish) the spare can actually be slid in behind the drivers seat and is still in the perfect position (for me)

give it a try if you are a short-ass or sit quite straight.
