Exhaust question

I recently put flow-tech headers on my 86 GMC 2wd. Its a 350 SBC w/TH350. The driver side header angles downward to get the piping under the cross member. Is there a way to get the pipe over the cross member with these headers? Anyone have pics and or ideas? Thanks

Re: Exhaust question

I have the drivers side under the cross member, the pass side over the crossmember. What size pipes are you running? It maybe possible to have a shop modify the headers, but seems the $$$ isnt worth the outcome. Also, there is a stock double hump crossmember so both pipes run the same direction...or you could go with shorty headers, that way you have enough room to bend the exhaust pipe so it can clear the crossmember.

Re: Exhaust question

Right now I've got flex pipe and cherry bombs under the cross member. I"ve got 20ft. of 2.5" pipe I want to put on it. I may just make up a new cross member for it. thanks
