Anyone have some pics of their system hanging around? I got my pipe and electric cutouts. Need to start designing something that is going to work with the lack of real-estate under these trucks.

My plan is to exit under the step with a long rectangle tip kinda like the mid 90s camero's.

I need to find a small ultra quiet muffler yet. cutouts will bypass muffler and tie back into exhaust. Long story short there is going to be allot going on under there.

On the round track cars with limited ground clearance under the rocker panels, we used to split a piece of 2" exhaust tubing down the middle and splice in a TIG welded 3" wide piece of 16 gauge flat stock top and bottom. It ended up making an oval exhaust pipe that transitioned to the header collectors with a cone shaped adapter, which was also fabricated in the shop.

Here’s what I did with my 70.

It tucked up tight. Lots of room for a cutout under the cab. We will see how how heat dissipation goes.

Fox, can you point us to a post number? You have a bunch of great pics there but I don't see the exhaust routing.

Where do you buy the flanges to create the boltable joints? I haven't looked locally yet.
