Indeed they are.... I was only thinking of center vs rear dump, didn't even think about straight vs angled. Thanks for the clarification!

Are the straight center dumps you see on eBay or amazon that go for around $60 per side decent enough quality for a driver?

These are the 2.5 inch corvette center dumps with alternator mounts.

Anyone try this route with their K-series? Either on a K10 or K20? The PO had the exhaust run under the transfer case on mine. I got this picture off the web.

IIRC, the pic is how the OE stock exhaust is routed.

Thanks for the clarification, the PO put long tube headers and a 2.5 dual exhaust on mine. The only problem I have with it is it was the passenger side was ran under the transfer case, it is a custom exhaust system from a local shop.

I gottcha, I wouldn't like it under the t-case either. It might be possible to have a shop re-work just that section & run it above the cross member. I guess it depends on where the passenger side header collector is.

By the way, I really like your trans and t/case color combination, that looks bad a$$!

Waldrons did mine on my 70 k10 fit great bolted right in

That's weird they cant even ball park you. Been awhile since I had a complete exhaust done. I just asked a bunch of folks I saw at shows and automotive get together who did their exhaust work?

When I finally narrowed it down to a couple, the prices were close and I was very surprised that the cost wasn't even that steep. One of the more reasonable things I ever spent on one of my trucks. Funny thing is several years later on a truck I got from my neighbor it had a really nice exhaust and I asked him who did it. Same guy that did my first truck.

Yeah i've called three different shops... All said we cannot give you a price because too many variables. I asked if it would be around $800, $1000, $1500... no one would answer.

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-09-2019, 08:34 AM

The shop I use said his duals run between 600 to 800. He does very nice work.
