For some odd reason, mine has perfectly intact 2.5" exhaust pipes from the manifolds back to the mufflers, which arent leaking but dont look too healthy either. The odd part is, off the back of the mufflers it has tiny pipes that bend up over the rearend then turn 90 degrees and one exits out each side behind the wheels. I don't mind the side exit at all, beats backing them into snowbanks and trailers and so forth, but I cant understand why someone put like 1.75" tailpipes on it. Also, the tailpipes are all rotted through even though they are probably newer. So I guess my answer would be, some of my exhaust exits on each side behind the wheels, but a good portion of it exits under the truck through all the rot holes in the little tailpipes.
Sounds good though. What 454 doesn't?
