2 1/2 ramhorn exhaust routing

For those running the 2 1/2 ram horns did you have clearance issues with the straight dump? How did you not hit the starter?

Thanks

Re: 2 1/2 ramhorn exhaust routing

please correct me if i am wrong but the straight dump ram horns are for 4 wheel drives only and don't work on 2 wheel drive trucks

Yep you are right but I have seen folks put them on 4x2s.

Re: 2 1/2 ramhorn exhaust routing

My truck has the swept back version of the ram horns and the driver's side pipe comes pretty close to the starter but does clear it. I haven't had any trouble with heat soak since I swapped to duals last December. I'm not sure how much different the clearance is on the 4x4 versions.

I ran them on a 2wd truck and used a later model starter(90 truck). It was still tight. I think if you ran the V-8 in the 6 banger location, it would give you more room.
