Pics of exhaust with relocated tank
Could I get some pics of how everyone has ran their exhaust when they've moved the tank out back? I'm about to get a whole new system from headers back and I plan on moving the tank in the future and I want to make sure the pipes aren't going to be in the way.
Thanks in advance. Ronnie

Re: Pics of exhaust with relocated tank
I forgot to tell the shop when they did mine so I just threw that out so that you could get it right. You want them running along the outside of the rail. Not toward the center. If you have ever checked out the Blazer type tank you know that it rests on the top of the frame rails. But physically sites within their confines. Just picture a vertical line down the inside of the frame and that would be the wall of the tank so you just want to put some distance between the two. It only matters if you plan to run the pipes all the way back. Mine come out right behind the wheel well.

Glock's exhaust set-up is nothing but "OverKill" you could probably get the parts from pawn shop and call it good! LOL!!!

Re: Pics of exhaust with relocated tank
Very Nice, Glock!
I don't have the holes cut in the trailing arm crossmember, so I would need to move the mufflers further back because I wouldn't want them hanging as low as the pipes will be. Is there room closer to the rear axle for the mufflers anywhere back there? It's hard to tell from the pics how high the pipes are running right before the axle. I guess my question is, if I ran it the same as yours, except going below the trailing arm crossmember, would the mufflers hang too low if I placed them right before the axle?

Re: Pics of exhaust with relocated tank
my truck is bagged and i just had new exhaust put on (sorry, no pics).
i had my X member is cut out, so it is going through there, however, my muffers are mounted in front of the rear end, above the trailing arms. I don't see any reason you couldn't mount yours there. also, on my setup, my exhaust goes over the rearend, makes a tight down turn to get under the panhard bar, and bends out to the frame rail and runs all the way back to the bumper. I had to do this because my air compressor and tank are both mounted on the outside of the frame behind the wheels. hope this helps |
