Re: Exhaust Diameter/back pressure

<<Perhaps you can tell me why
trucks (pu's, vans, etc.) have a right angle bend on the end of their
exghaust systems so that the exhaust comes out behind one of threar
wheels, while cars have straight pipes exiting under the rear bumper. Is
it a torque tuning issue or just for clearance?>>

It is also done to keep exhaust fumes out of towed vehicles, such as horse
trailers and travel campers as well as towed vehicles which carry either
produce or fabric which you would not like to pick up the exhaust odors.
