Exhaust through crossmember?

Has anyone cut holes in the steady bearing/rear arm crossmember where the slots are cut for the E-cables & run the exhaust through it? I think if I did that I could run my pipes from front to back without ever dropping below the frame.

Re: Exhaust through crossmember?

yep my short bed BB truck had holes all the way back and it was tucked completely up behind the frame. couldnt see anything but the very bottom of the header.....
there are some super SLICK/SICK TUBULAR cross members that ive seen on here that replace all the stock cross members.. im sure they are $$$$$ but man are they sweet....
