Which way on the exhaust?
In the first two photos, I have the exhaust going to the outside edge.
The second two photos, I have it going more towards the middle. Which one do you think looks best?

Loud Pipes, Save Lives!
It's a 2 1/2" exhaust I did myself. Everything was ordered from JC Whitney, except the H-pipe and collectors which are from Jeg's.
Basically, the pipes come 18" off the collectors into the H-pipe and then into the 12" glasspacks. Then on either side its goes into 3 mandrel bent 45 degree elbows, a 50" straight and two more mandrel 45 degree elbows out the rear. I just got all the 45's today and cut them to fit. Tomorrow I'll weld/clamp them all together. For a while I just had it put together up to the glasspacks which exited right behind the cab because I considered running them out in front of the rear wheels. But the reason I bought 12" glasspacks is because I wanted loud and so loud is what I got. So loud, in fact, I decided to run them all the way out the back. ![]()

personally I don't care for either! I like the corners or turned out the sides behind the rear tires. To me straight out the back is extremely REDNECK! not that most redneck is a bad thing!

Dump em in the corners for sure...looks so mean and you get to blow leaves and dust around as you drive past, the coolest thing is driving through some leaves and looking in the rear view to two curly waves of leaves following you.

Dumping out under the truck...not only illegal in many states, (not that it is enforced) but it is not a good idea. Look in the Flowmaster site, the caustic byproducts of combustion can (and in my experience WILL) eat the paint and cause rust. Happened on our old S-10 blazer. To me dumps just look like pverty pipes....in aincomplete exhaust system...but that's me.
Dumping out the side never looked right to me, plus the chick in the Mc Drive through can't hear you and you have to turn off your engine... just like the family with 12 kids in the 79 Caprice wagon that can't afford a muffler. Personally, I like them mounted in towards the center more, esp if you have smaller pipes. Pencil tips look best mounted like this IMO... however you need to figure if you'll be running a spare tire under there, or a class 3 hitch. I've never though of that as red neck-ish.... interesting take on that. Last edited by Longhorn Man; 10-01-2005 at 06:15 AM. |

Like this but cut off shorter without the pipe showing. IMO exhaust pipes are a functional part of the truck, not cosmetic.

Old Yeller - of your pics, towards the center is definitely the better choice... KEH's looks good too. Mandarin's are not bad but I don't think it would be my first choice, I think the tires would throw stuff on them leading to early pipe failure.
![]() Mine dump behind the mufflers because my short trips don't heat up tailpipes enough to dry them out, so they rust out quickly. ![]()
