| | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 | This week i am putting in the tailpipes on my 56 3100 with the 235. i have the Fenton headers and a 2-in, 2-out muffler so i am running a dual exhaust back. i am having the pipes custom bent, so any routing/shape is possible if it fits.
So - I am looking for ideas for where to have the pipes exit. Some possibilities are 1) at the rear with one in the stock location and one on the other side in a symmetrical position - this presents an interference challenge with the under-bed spare tire on the passenger side; 2) both pipes side-by-side in the stock location on the driver's side; 3) one on each side exiting behind the rear fenders; 4) one on each side exiting ahead of the rear fenders at the steps; 5) other?
Any ideas of what fits and looks good? Any pics? I'm putting stainless tips on the ends.

The exhaust is going in on Friday 8/10. Any more ideas would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 940 | I have one out the side before the rear tire. When I go dual I'll either do both out the same side at an angle or one out each side.
...I'm not using a rear bumper and it looked kinda funny hanging out way low. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 | The Trucks! guys ran the pipes out through the running board. classix pipesregards, Leon | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 693 | Thanks for the replies gentlemen. While i think that the "through the running board" look is cool - there is no way i am cutting up the sheetmetal for my pipes! | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2005 Posts: 487 | You could also position them just below the running board if you like the side exit.

They are about 6" wide ea. I can post aphoto if you like as there are't a lot of them running around on the street. | | |
