Hi guys. Covid and winter blues have me in need of some truck work.

I am a putting a 60's set of Fenton headers on my 51 3100 with 55 235. I am water heating my intake and installing dual exhaust.

I'm looking for input/experience with dual exhaust.

What size pipes?
What mufflers brand/model do you like ?
What about exhaust routing ? I currently have a trailer hitch welded where the spare used to be. I'm currently thinking exhaust flaring down under bed at differential or flaring out at tires but I'm not sure about fumes accumulating back into the cab.

A sound clip would be awesome as well.

With all due respect - please don't chime in on this thread with why I should run the single exhaust or why I shouldn't do this.
You can do whatever you want with your truck. Please start a different thread if you feel like doing that.
We are all here to have a good time and I'm just looking to get some input from guys who have experience with what I'm doing.

Thanks guys.
