Lets see your exhaust exit locations! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

blk81shrt · 07-16-2008, 05:04 PM

OK- so I just finished up my 5" flip in the rear of my 81 c10 SB. I have the bed off and Im doing some frame detailing (POR15

), when I thought that maybe I should do something with my exhaust. Its a custom 3", exiting passenger side. Its still in decent shape, but I really think duals would match the lowered look a little better. Any thoughts?

Heres my ideas:

I dont really want to have it too loud in the cab- I want to be able to actually talk, or use my cell while driving. So that pretty much rules out short turn downs under the cab. But I like the look of the ones that exit before the wheels, will they be all that loud???

One of my options is just dualing the 3" near the end and welding on 2 slat cut tips, that would look pretty wicked.

Also, SHOW ME YOUR SETUPS! Pics are greatly appreciated!

SkylineNXS · 07-16-2008, 07:10 PM

This is what i have on my 87, 2 angled out behind the tires...i didnt do the exhaust, it was like this when i bought it, so i didnt really have a choice, lol, but i did add the tips...

I'm thinking NASCAR style, exiting out the passenger side..

gchemist · 07-16-2008, 09:41 PM

Sound coming soon. I need to find a leak that's driving me crazy!!

85SBC400 · 07-16-2008, 10:34 PM

i think thats how i'm going to do mine in a few weeks. i got a couple dynomax bullets coming in for my 85.

would like to hear the sound clip when you get it up. wondering how it'll sound just over the rear axle like that.

BaddBusa2005 · 07-16-2008, 11:44 PM

I am going to bring mine out behind the passenger rear tire at an angle with some double wall stainless 04-06 gto tips. It should look good

rod86 · 07-17-2008, 06:21 AM

no pics yet, but mine are going 2x side by side out the left side infront of the rear wheel with big rectangular camaro tips

**N2TRUX** · 07-17-2008, 08:54 AM

I turned mine down at the rear. It's a SI/SO flowmaster with 2.5". Nice inside the cab, and rumbles when romped outside.

jdurant · 07-17-2008, 09:27 AM

n2trux,
Did you do that? If not, who, and kit or custom?

jorgensensc · 07-17-2008, 09:58 AM

N2trux,
Did you turn them down before or after the rear differential? Also, is that a hose line touching the exhaust in the last pic?

blk81shrt · 07-17-2008, 10:19 AM

Hey n2trux, od you have shorty headers or stock exhaust manifolds?? Nice work routing the exhaust under the oil pan- must be great for your lowered setup!

What about squishing a regular exhaust tube down to a rectangular shape to give a little more clearance under the tranny and/or pan?? Anyone ever heard of this?

AceX · 07-17-2008, 11:17 AM

Click the link in his sig and you shall find the answers you need...

For those who are wondering, mine dumps in the stock location and was tucked up as close to the body as possible to hide it. It's a single 2.5" system sporting a Flowmaster Super44. Mine was one of the first trucks in the country to sport the Super44.

I have seen a company advertising in car magazines that sells a line of squished tubing, curves, and mufflers like that.

factory did that on some cars, they dimpled the tube more flat for clearance under the floor board, i know my 80 camaro is, along with my 70 chevelle, and every other pair of lead pipes i have in the gararge (probably close to 30 pairs of lead pipes for models)

Even the NOS 69 chevelle pipes i have, still have GM stickers on them, are somewhat flattened to clear the floor board.

As long as it doesn't inhibit the flow, meaning keeping the same amount of flow, i wouldn't see what it would hurt.

87Lowrider · 07-17-2008, 08:25 PM

On my '87, a just had a custom exhaust from the Dynomax 3" headers back to turbos and out behind the back wheels. Nice and throaty but not too loud.

The exhaust was custom built by Roger at Stoked Out Specialties

Shawn

Shawn, I don't have any better pics but the one where you reference the hose near the exhaust tells the story. That pipe heads at an angle to exit near the rear bumper it is tucked up and turns down so it is not visable from outside the truck.
BTW- The line was rerouted to ensure proper clearence

Im putting on a dual exit system from Dynomax and i also have a roll pan, is there any way you could post a pic from the side and maybe a 3/4 view from the back so I can get an idea of what to expect?

Thanks
Kris
