Application
For Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945) and Hotchkiss M201 with standard oval or round exhaust muffler. One bracket mounts at the front of the muffler, the second at the rear. Suitable for both standard side exhaust and early deep mud configurations.
Installation notes
Brackets mount from underneath through the front floor, approximately 1" (2.5 cm) from the body side. The front bracket is positioned roughly halfway along the front floor hat channel, the rear bracket approximately 5" forward of the floor end at the wheel arch. Rubber isolators (GPW-5283) between bracket and muffler provide vibration damping. Check the position before drilling holes in a reproduction front floor.
Compatibility
Fits oval (A-6118) and round exhaust mufflers. NOT compatible with CJ-2A or later civilian models without modification — these have a different floor configuration. For deep mud systems with rear exhaust, additional brackets to the chassis are required.
Historical context
The WWII jeep's exhaust muffler hung beneath the passenger side on rubber-isolated brackets through the front floor. This system proved vulnerable to damage in mud and snow, which led to the introduction of the 'deep mud' system with rear exhaust in late 1944.
