Ram Horn Clearance--
Has anyone seen swept back style ram horn exhaust manifolds that have a 2 1/2” outlet? I can only find this style in a 2” outlet. I have seen 2 1/2” outlet manifolds but the all exit straight down and I’m worried this will make it harder to keep the rest of the exhaust off of the ground. I want to be able to drop my blazer on the LCAs and still keep my exhaust off of the ground. Is this possible with the straight down exiting manifolds? I have shorty style ceramic coated Hedman’s currently but I had to dimple them the get them to “fit” and I don’t like that.
If anyone needs an example of the swept back style I can post a picture once I find it.

This what you are talking about? It's upside down in the picture.

Re: Ram Horn Clearance--
Believe me, I've been on eBay. I can't find them. At this point I just want to know if they exist so I can continue my search before I settle for something different.

Does anyone have the straight down style on a bagged truck? Should I worry about clearance or will I have enough room to bend 2 1/2" pipe before it hangs lower than my LCAs?

Re: Ram Horn Clearance--
You can get a ( GOOD) muffler shop to run the exhaust. If you run a mini-starter, that will solve alot of the clearence problems. I had those manifolds on a truck that was lowered 4 1/2 and 6 3/4 in the rear. I know that's not bags. I used a 90 model Chevy truck starter,but the mini would give you quite a bit more room for the bend you need.
