3 inch exhaust out the back with 4/6 static drop?

[El Campo]

Had my truck in the local exhaust shop and they said they can't figure out how to get my 3 inch pipes out the back! Is it possible? I have 4/6 drop with the coil springs and the trailing arms. Anyone have pics of this (ESP chassis pics)? And if it is do you have to put heat shields on bottom of bed? Also I have a cell in the bed and if I have to move pump and filter to make it fit I am fine with it. And no I do not want to just dump them behind cab if don't absolutely have to

Anything is possible. Had one shop flat out refuse to put Duels on the 07 Titan. He said it involved to much bending without moving the spare tire and he just wasnt in the mood to do it.

When i found a shop that would do it i found out why. Ive seen straighter pretzels....

Any extremely lowered vehicle is a pain. had a 4/6 drop on a 98 Ranger right after high school.... That turned out to be a mess running just a single pipe...

These pipes are 2 1/2 BUT 3 in will fit also...I did check! Note the Ball flange under the cab on the drivers side and through the rear cross member on the passenger side in the first pic. The system is hard mounted at those two points on each side and I used a stainless flex coupling between the headers and the exhaust cutouts to allow for movement. Anyone who tells you this can't be done just doesn't know very much. This is a 4/6 static drop using Early classics spindles and springs front and Early classics springs, shocks and super track bar rear.

Fitz, that's the EXACT lowering kit that I have! That's cool how u went through the crossmember, I never thought of it. I'm study your pics closer and try to due the same. I love the way those stainless tips look hanging out under the roll pan AND I am tired of the desparately loud dumping behind the cab exhausts. It sounds cool from outside but already have bad enough hearing from riding the Harley!

i've been in the exhaust business since 1985 and sometimes the customer asks for a job thats not practical or safe. if you are running a wood bed i would refuse to do it for safety reasons. i'd have to see your truck on a lift before i would say yes or no. you need an air gap around the pipe otherwise you will burn something or it'll rattle like he!!.

Sounds like this: http://s851.photobucket.com/albums/a...urrent=572.mp4 Since I did this myself I have lots of pics. You do need to make a radiant shield for the bed where it passes through the rear cross member but the truck has about 5K miles since it was finishes...no rattles no burns no BS.

Don't ride a harley but I do ride a slammed stretched chop with an S&S 111 inch stroker and Hooker straight pipes:
