I never smell raw gas but exhaust fumes occasionally when engine was cold backing up. I also added fake duel exhaust cause I could.
Picture?

Seems like a good idea to have an exhaust. It shouldn't make noise, if any. Anyone know someone that could do this?

I had an older cart that a previous owner had installed what appeared to be flexible stainless-steel tubing from the muffler area to the rear of the golf cart. I did not like the installation but it worked. You would need to be careful on how the tubing is routed and attached to the cart undercarriage.

Stainless Steel Exhaust Hose, 2.5cm/ 1

The inner diameter is about 1 inch and the pipe on the muffler is smaller so you would need to cut some slits in one end to be able to clamp it down. Get the length necessary to route it wherever you need it to exit the cart. I wouldn't put it too close to any plastic.

Yes, for all of 3-4 seconds it takes to pass thru them... But my response was not about the tunnels...

I've been trapped in a car smelling worse...

Sometimes makes little different sound when backing up when feathering gas pedal. I will see if i have less exhaust soot under my seats in year? I’m hoping the extension will get exhaust out of dead air flow spot under cart.
