exhaust?

exhaust?
my muffler rusted off about a month or 2 ago and I've been thinking about making a custom exhaust ever since. Would it be alright to run the exhaust pipe under the gas tank? I'm thinking about running a pipe straight from the header to the rear without any bends, but I've never seen a car with an exhaust pipe anywhere near the gas tank. Is the exhaust that much of a fire hazard that far from the engine? Could I just put some heat shielding and insulation between the exhaust and the gas tank to solve my problem?

Re:exhaust?
i dont think heat is the problem, but actually hitting the tank will be, i mean if it hangs down low and you hit a bump or somthing hard id take the pipe and smash it into your tank screwing stuff up... just 2 bends to clear the tank wont be that bad

I didn't think about it banging the tank. I could put some soft insulation on the bottom of the tank, then a big heat shield on the top of the exhaust and not lower my car. Or just say ---- it and have it come out the side.

mandrels=non local=lots of money. I'm just going to get it ghetto bended right where the cat used to b and have it come out under my door. I won't be too loud because by the time I get this on there it will have a turbo before it.

I had my exhaust done with a non-mandrel bender and it came out nice. No crinkles and it looked good.
You could always come straight out of the turbo and exit the bumper. I looked all over for the guy that did this. It didn't look too bad.
