Suspension and Exhaust guru's needed

[Dm1pfoy1]

Hey guys wanted to ask a question and dont know if its best off in exhaust or suspension section so placed it here. My long tubes come down below frame and then tucks back up. (I have photos if you like) it leaves this wired s bend at the collectors. I want to keep long tubes but somewhat soon want to bag truck and would like the exhaust up even or better with frame incase I get a bug and want to drop it that low. Plus not allowed at some car washes presently. So what do you sbc guys run?

I,m running Hooker chevelle headers on my Big Block and tuck in nice inside my frame. All my exhaust runs above the bottom of my frame.

Thanks for the pic didnt think about A bodies. Ill look into that. Was just curious how people were doing exhaust. Thought there had to be a better solution.

I have not tried, seen or heard these headers, but they seem to be exactly what you, I and others are looking for...

clearimageautomotive.com Chevy Truck 67-72 Headers

For those of you looking for the ONLY headers built specifically for "laying frame". Our newly designed truck headers allow you to do just that without any possibility of the headers touching the ground.

We use heavy wall 14 gage steel tubing (.083) thick, 3/8" thick laser cut flanges, 14 gage tubing for our collectors and take great pride in our finish work.

We do complete welds, around each primary tube, whenever possible.

This gives the header a more "finished" appearance, reduces areas for rust to start and adds superior strength.
We hand finish each port and machine the face of the flange flat. This allows the flange to fully seat to the head, insuring there is no reduction in flow.

We offer all flange options but have found the ball/socket connection to be the best all around connection.

They offer a leak-free seal without the use of a gasket, allow for some movement and adjustability during the install and they are much more reliable than a flat flange.

Primary tube sizes are available in 1 5/8", 1 3/4" for the small block engine and 2" for the Big Block.

It looks like you kinda answered your own question. Long tubes hang below the frame so if you shorten them to keep them above the frame they aren't long tubes any more. If you want your exhaust above the bottom of your frame it's probably an exhaust question. Sounds like you know what you want with the suspension. Good luck!

Wow! I didn't think there was a set that fit that well! They don't fit my Chevelle that good!
