Starter and exhaust pipe distance - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

With a stock setup of 2 inch pipe coming from a ramhorn exhaust manifold that is angled down. How far is the pipe supposed to be from the starter?

Thanks

Forgot to add. How far is the exhaust pipe supposed to come down from the exhaust manifold before it straightens out and goes toward the end of the truck.

Thanks

I am not sure on rams horns, I have hedman headers and mine are VERY close 3/4" and I have to have a heat shield installed and a mini starter.

If it's not raining I will check and try to get a pic of mine when I get home.

I have Hookers, & 1 tube is within 1/8 " of the starter.....doesnt cause a bit of problem here in the midwest with 95- 100 degree temps

IMO, set the exhaust up as tight to the bottom of the truck as you can, fit it(within 1/2" of the crossmember).....just make sure there is enough room to drop the starter out , if you need to. if that 2 " tube is 1/2 - 3/4 " from the starter, it shouldnt cause any problems

best of luck,crazyL

Here's what I came up with. I have ramhorn manifolds and what I assume is the stock y-pipe.
