Got exhaust installed
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally bit the bullet and got it done. Went with the long tube coated hedmans, flowmaster 40's. I thought I was going to hate the sound at cruise, but it sounds good. As for the tips, I went with the ovals, and not spread too far. When talking with the guy at the shop, I have known him for a little while, he restyores classic trucks and cars, he has had several of these trucks, and assured me I would be happy with the long tubes, I expressed concerns about ground clearance, he said not to worry. I have been driving it for 2 days everywhere around town, no problems yet. If I do start bottoming out, I guess we will go with a shorty or 3/4 length. The only thing I don't like is the long tubes are a little low, but I do have about 5" clearance, and they did not put my a/c -alt support brackets back on, which I did not even notice until taking these pics. Have to deal with that this week. I know, I need to get some new plug wires...soon.

Re: Got exhaust installed
Looks really good! Thanks for the pictures. I am thinking about that same style rear bumper for my 78. I have stock manifolds on my truck, 2.5" aluminized pipe with 50 Series Flows and stock style rear tail pipes.
I just orders some Hedman Elites and Super 40s for my 72 C10. They have a 3/8" mounting flange. Looks like your headers have the thick flange too. |

Re: Got exhaust installed

Re: Got exhaust installed
Pcmcobra that system looks great I agree w/ boatpuller that your a-arm will hit first.
Malo83 you can get the shorty edelbrock w/ a.i.r. from lmc, they hook to your stock exhaust if you want to do a piece at a time.

Re: Got exhaust installed
see now those headers would allow me to do my 3" single unmuffled smotke-stack-type with a flapper valve exhaust, but no, I had to have some car long-tubes that exit on the sides of the tranny so I can't run a Y-pipe or even an H-piped for my current duals...
