In a '54 GMC with a chevy 235 (appx '55-'57) would I have better clearance running the second pipe behind or in front of the existing pipe? Mike can make the new manifolds either way. Also, would you guys run both pipes to the same side?, out the rear or beneath the running board?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. | | |

I then ran it to a 3" collector pipe and then into a 2 in/2 out muffler. My choice was to run both out the rear with SS tips for that classic look. Only problem was choosing the right muffler for the sound I wanted but got it right on the third try. | | |

Also, what was your evolution & final choice for the mufflers? | | |
