I’m actually worried less about airflow and more about salt “flow” right now. Any openings would pack right up with the stuff. The big problem area is where the exhaust works it’s way to the right and over the suspension arm. Impossible to panel it gap-free, and it leaves a gap right in the rear wheelwell.

That brings me to my nutcase idea: cut the pipe right in the middle and have it dump downward onto the road, ahead of the gas tank. I’ll customize a bullet muffler I found and fit it in the exhaust tunnel. That way all I need is some flashing down the middle, nothing beyond that. If that’s a bad idea somebody lemme know.

Aluminum flashing should work, I used steel simply because it was free for me. I bet you can make the flashing much skinnier in width than on my first underbody panel.
