need help with exhaust setup for in-line 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

drewmangoo · 08-31-2010, 11:52 PM

try to find info on exhaust setup for inline 6 (230) . I need to run exhaust pipe from header back, every shop I call wants to charge between 150-170, I want to do it myself pretty good at welding, does anyone have a picture or info so i can see angle of pipe I need to run. Thanks

I used 2"EMT conduit and a hydraulic bender from work.--
Kicked it outside the frame and turned it out in front of the tire.

FYI, I have a decent exhaust on my truck currently (292 though) .... I plan on ripping it out, and running something different.

Flows into a flowmaster, then splits in front of the rear wheels.....looks recent (few years I guess)

If you can use it, your welcome to it !!

Here's a pic:

Just a friendly suggestion, which I know you didn't ask for......

Unless you have another connection on the valve cover which doesn't show in that pic, you should run a vented cap with that PCV setup. Otherwise, there is no way for fresh air to get into the crankcase.

I just recycled the first foot with the flange and welded on new from there. 2" EMT is a little bigger diameter but not much.
I have made new flanges before by heating with a torch and working it over a ball hitch. Bubba

I took a Y-pipe for a Nova that was laying around and cut the ends off. Then I welded new ends on that were oriented correctly. This was a 2 into 1 exhaust.

I might have to try some of these ideas,that's the only thing holding me from driving my truck. I can't seem to find a flange to hookup to manifold,getting fustrasted.
