lowrider exhaust
 
I posted this in the pics area by mistake. So here goes again Does anyone have any pics of their exhaust in a lowered truck with leaf springs. Haven't got mine all the way down yet and it looks pretty tight with a five inch dump and a c notch, was wondering if I will have to cut the box floor for it. Any help is much appreciated thanks

I dont have any pics of my set up yet. although mine is a coil spring type this idea may work for you. about the middle of trans area have the pipes come through a reinforced hole in frame & run them along outside of frame. then snake them above the axle between the wheel & frame & straight out the back.

Sorry, no pics on last summer's mods...... I have a 3/5 drop on my longhorn, & run full lenght Hooker comps. the old truck has 2 custom crossmembers,( 1 under the Richmond, & 1 under the rear of the cab). they are 2x6x1/4" wall, & notched for the pipes to run under. the truck runs a full lenght 2 1/2" dual system , that exits through the rear bumper(over the axle, & around the fuel cell), with 50's Flows for muffs. there is LOTS of room on a leaf spring truck to hang exhaust ;) my youngest "brat" helped with hanging the tailpipes on the longhorn, on a Sat afternoon. I have been the "part timer" in a local muffler shop for a couple seasons :) crazyL :crazy:

Coil set ups don't have as much room underneath to clear everything.That's the way I had mine, along the outside of the frame, when I had a big block. But now I have a small block and I'll probably still run them along the outer side of the frame just above the rubber snubber that way the suspension won't bottom out and they won't drag. Then when I lower it there won't be any problems. but for now they're turned out just in front of the rear wheels
