Need Help...going to the pipe shop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sdmahr · 12-06-2004, 03:01 PM

If the weather stays dry, I'm going to the exhaust shop to get duals put on my truck. I've got stock manifolds on my V8 and I'll be going from there to the back somewhere.

What I do know is that I want to keep the turbo's out from underneath the cab.....too much noise in there ! !

Does anybody have some slick photo's showing a "clean" routing? I'm thinking of coming out behind the rear tires or straight out the back. I've got a wood bed so packing anything up too close to the bed floor is a no-no. I'd love to take a pic of a slick installation for the tech to follow.

Suggestions / Photos ? ?

Thanks !

Scott

NICE ! I have coil springs in the rear rather than the leaf springs. Kinda makes it a real P.I.T.A. to get everything to fit "nicely".

i ran mine back and right were the trailing arms start i turned up with a "s" bend and that put them right up next to the bed floor, then i just dumped them before the axle.

I had a truck once that dumped under the bed just before the rear end and I hated it, it resonated too much. I always have my pipes ran all of the way out the back.
