How to “move” exhaust. Boyd’s tank install

[Mbeef61]

Installing a Boyd’s tank in bed. Exhaust is going to be in the way. What are my options for a quick fix? Complete exhaust will be in very near future (headers to if I can find some that will work to tail pipe) I just don’t want exhaust blown all over the new tank. The passenger side will be really close to the supply line as well

I could probably get away with a little tweak. If I remove the rear mount they might pry out of the way.

I could cut them, but with the crush bends I doubt it will get a good clamp on there. Could have a shop weld them back on I suppose.

What would you do?

Don't know how much room you need, you might get away with cutting the pipes on the straight sections & rotating them forward (closer to the tires). Then re-weld them, straight cut, easy weld.

That was my thought. I just need to clear those corners for the tank. I have a couple clamps too but I don’t think they will seal since there are a couple crush bends in that area.

I guess I’ll try to pry and if not I’ll cut.

I would cut them as it is a short term solution as u r getting new exhaust in the future
