magnaflow with leaf springs Question

I am looking to put new exhaust on my truck and I like magnaflow but I looked at their website and it says (coil rears). I did a search and found some good stuff but no one with leaf spring rear. I don't see how it could be that different and I am not opposed to doing some BFH adjustments. My concern is that it will be way off or be a big pain and I would be better just doing custom exhaust. Pictures would be great.

I just did a search for the new Thrush system that came out recently for our trucks but it's also for coil spring only according their site.

Re: magnaflow with leaf springs Question

Well, your leaf spring truck is wide open inside the rails, whereas the coil truck has to route the pipes around/over the trailing arms. I dont think you will have any trouble hanging a ex system for a coil truck on your leaf sprung truck(it just might have a few bends that you wouldnt need to have) for your app.The shock mounts are a little different, & you may need to "play with " the hangers. crazyL

Re: magnaflow with leaf springs Question

I think the problem is more where the pipe exit the out the sides just past the fenders behind the rear tire. I think there would be interference how the pipe exits.

Yea, it might be an issue around the rear spring hangers.....I like to run em straight out the butt end(sounds better IMO). crazyL

Re: magnaflow with leaf springs Question

I have no idea on price. I found it in the April 2008 edition of Classic Trucks on page 24 at the bottom. 66-72 GM trucks is part #89027. Complete 2.5" slip fit, bolt on with all pipes, muffs and hardware.

Re: magnaflow with leaf springs Question

I think I will throw caution to the wind and buy the kit. I guess worst case I will have to fab the rear exits to go straight out. That is the way mine is now and I prefer it straight out the back under the bumper. Thanks for the help guys.
