From intake back or? My truck had headers when i got it but i couldn't get those off fast enough. Went back with ramhorns and set of turbos dumped before the axle.

In a coincidence, I just took this photo for a friend who asked a similar question this morning...

what motor do you have?

I have never seen exhaust ran out the sides of the frame. Does that cause in heating issues on the tires or under the cab sides?

brawley · 10-28-2010, 11:19 AM

I have a 350/350 combo with long headers. I thought about a short style that exits out in front of the rear tires, but wondered about getting fumes in the cab, i liked 66c10 full length set up though. never seen a set up like the first pic. but seems like a good idea. thanks for the input!

I've built a few exhaust systems that way for others, and it was the most practical way for me to route 3-inch tubing while keeping everything at, or above, the bottom of the frame, and mounting the mufflers under the bed to reduce drone in the cab. Plus, it opened up additional room between the frame rails under the cab for other items, like an trans oil cooler and my air solenoids, etc.

How close did u have to get the pipe to the frame? I'm just tryin to visualize doing it with everything on the truck.

I initially fabricated the exhaust with all of the sheetmetal still mounted to the chassis. This way, I positioned the tubing in the middle of the peak where the cab floor braces start their angles down to the rocker panel. Here are a couple of photos during fabrication that might help better explain...

Here’s mine – ram horn manifolds with 2 ¼” pipes leading to Flowtech Terminator mufflers and turn downs ahead of the axle:

These are 4". I can try and add more of my system later. The fumes in the cab are not too bad when stopped at a light. I dont notice any while driving.
