PASSENGER SIDE DUAL PIPES?

I've seen some trucks around with passenger side dual pipes. Does anyone know of a year model with such? I would like to buy the oem pipes and splice into a new system.

Thanks.

Just a thought but why not just have an exhaust shop make an exhaust system for you? It costs about $150 at a local shop here to run duals from the manifolds or headers to the rear. I don't think you'll ever find a new OEM exhaust system, you'd probably have to go to a scrapyard which wouldn't be new and I'd bet even there a lot of it would be re-done exhaust systems.

I'm not trying to push you one way or another I'm just wondering why you want OEM pipes when any pipe will work, it's just a pipe.

I have a "Heart-Throb" passenger's side dual exhaust on my 78 F250. I don't know if that is what you're talking about, but the pipes exit in front of the rear wheels.

It will have to be aftermarket. Ford never offered dual exhausts as a factory option on the 73-79 F series.
The passenger side duals is to clear the transfer case on 4WD models.

Not that it's the same everywhere, but it'll run me $500-$600 to have duals run.
That's me providing the header collector, mufflers tips and that's not even mandrel bent pipe.

It's real expensive up here!

What engine, headers and muffler combination? How loud is it?

No Ford truck came with dual exhausts until the Lightning models were introduced in 1997. Both pipes exited out the right side.

Man, things are expensive up there. I had a complete Wicked Flow setup installed in SoCal for a little over $200.00. That included all new piping all mandrel bent.

Good Job HIO! It is fun to set off all of the car alarms as you drive through a parking garage.

351M, stock manifolds, and glass packs w/2.25" pipes. It's sounds good, pretty loud but not obnoxious.

Yes, I was planning on building it myself. I don't care if it is off a Ford or not. (The pipe and mufflers don't care either.) I just wanted the tail pipe(s) to begin with, then I could assemble and weld.

Yes, I may walk into a shop and simply hand them the mufflers and say do it.

It is for a 300 inline. I have headers now but the heat is boiling my carb and locks in my starter.

I may run dual 2.25" pipes to the rear, to the muffler, and exit with a single 2.75" with the cooler gas. And please don't tell me about the 300 needing back pressure. It is a myth.

Hio: Why the box around the pipes where they exit?

"Tip".. singular... for that extra nth of ground clearance on a 4x4.

One could go ***** out and do it this way (Clint Bowyer, 2007 Daytona summer race... upside down and on fire while crossing the finish line).

Hooker (Summit) makes a kit for duals on the pass side. I believe several board members have tried it. Sounds like it may need a little fitting but a good place to start.
