Exhaust routing pics
 

i need some pics of how you guys ran your pipes over/under the transmission crossmember. i have long tube headers on my 2wd and they look to come out at a tricky angle towards the crossmember. also any pics of x pipes would be sweet too :devil:

Re: Exhaust routing pics

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

thanks :chevy:

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

no probs. might be a couple days though bear with me.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

oh i'm in no hurry lol just getting ideas

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

I have a 3 in x pipe system from pypes and long tube headers all I did was take a U shaped pipe cut it in the middle and made a _/--- shaped tube kinda like an odd S and it works great otherwise I'm going to drop the trans crossmember and either make it hollow or notch it to match the other side I can take pics if you like

I had this custom crossmember made for my truck.

was told it did have headers before
but this was on it when i bought it about 2months ago

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

do you have any pics of your system?

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

On my 82 with 3" duals, one pipe went over the cross member and the other went pretty much straight under it. It wasn't real bad... but again I wasn't real concerned with looks though it did come off a "show" truck... sorry no pics.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

that's what i'm thinking i'll have to do, one pipe over and the other under the crossmember. just as long as the pipes aren't touching anything lol that's what i'm fighting with right now...

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Mine with hedder long tubes.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

I am building a new crossmember out of 2x3 tubing so I can run both pipes above it. The over/under thing drives me crazy.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Heres what i did with full length headers

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

thanks guys, i love seeing pics ;)

Justin, is that an aftermarket crossmember?
mine looks like bucannon's

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Mine is the stock early style.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Question for you--how in the heck do you have access to your starter? I'd like a similar set-up but just can't see how the starter fits through there with the pipe in the way.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Maybe try an older double hump crossmember? That's what i have for mine. It will go on when I re-do the exhaust. It was $15 from a junkyard. I got it off an old Big10 or Heavy Half.

It "just" fits/slids out...manifolds not headers

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

that's what i'm thinking...willl it bolt right up? and will it fit with a 700r4 which i plan to swap in the near future

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

Even with long tube headers the starter just barely slid out. I have heard of some people having to unbolt the headers from the engine to get enough room. I did not have a problem though. Just had to move it around a bit until it was in the right position.

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

that's my same question....if so...I'll be going to find one...

Re: Exhaust routing pics
 

It will fit on the 700r4 but you have to drill holes in the frame because the crossmember sits farther back with a 700r4 compared to the stock th350.

thought i'd have a better pic but this is it
