How can I run Side Exhaust on bags? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have any ideas on how to run exhaust out in front of the rear wheels on a bagged truck with the stock trailing arms? I wonder if you could make a notch through the frame to allow the pipe to exit in front of the rear wheels? Or would that severely weaken the frame?

Run it above the tranny crossmember, through holes cut in the trailing arm crossmember, and up and over the framerail right behind the cab. Check out Kyle4381's Blazer- he has something similar.

My exhaust goes outside the frame rails up near the firewall were the frame starts to jog down and the flowmasters are under the floor on the side and I have side exhaust, not running bags but it wouldn't change nothing except maybe raising the tailpipe a little for full drop
