Air Suspension Tank Install in Stock Muffler Location

Hi,

I know some cars have the tank and lines installed underneath the car but I haven't seen any for the 86. Would it be possible to install the tank and compressor and all that is necessary in the space where the stock muffler would typically reside if one were to have an aftermarket catback system?

I have the Tomei 60s and the undercarriage looks like this:

You can see behind where the 4th brake light is that there is space for a possible installation.

The motivation behind it is to retain both trunk spare and the space tire. If my understanding is correct, these components can withstand typical weather conditions, as there are people on other platforms that have undercarriage installations. Perhaps installing a diffuser (like the Verus one) to cover the area to protect it from scratches and flying pebbles from the road would also be an idea.


I don't know of anyone who has done this one 86 platform, as it would be very dependent on the type of catback system one has, that would grant the proper amount of space for the installation.

Does anyone think there would be enough clearance? Or is there an alternative exterior location that would be better suited?

Thanks!
