Bagged guys, exhaust?
I'm getting plans and parts together to make some changes to my truck, and I'd like to know if anyone has any underside shots of their exhausts? Basically in the area of the tranny crossmember. I'm switching over to a big block, and I'm assuming shorty headers are the way to go?

Re: Bagged guys, exhaust?
depends on how low you are plannig to go when I started my truck build I didn't do my home work and happen to have the headers that are on it now ..long..and they drag with cupped LCA..if I had to do it again I would get shorties and run them throw the frme the problem is where to exit them..I have seen all kinds of ways but it seem you have to cut the X memeber near the back of the cab and weld in some pipe and run it threw there.... other options are to go out though the side of the frame ..again cut and pipe welded in..... my exhaust will be the out the side of the frame and then out the side of the bed....its hard to get out over the axle unless you are planning a big step notch

Re: Bagged guys, exhaust?
I ran shorty headers on my small block with the exhaust tucked up between the frame rails, over the tranny crossmember and dumped the pipes down behind the trailing arm crossmember as far back as I could. There isn't much room for pipes when you are real low with stock trailing arms.

When I changed over to a big block Frizzle Fry's build thread on his shorty was basically my bible for the exhaust. Not only did he do all the hard work of research he has got some killer ideas for everything else; that and the thread one hell of a read
