Lets see your exhaust!!!!

Ok Im starting to think about exhaust systems. Still running the flathead 8. I put the mustang 20 gallon tank in. I like the ones that kinda come out behind the rear fenders. Id love to see some pics. And what mufflers did you use? I have a set of short cherries but I think ill leave it straight for a while so i can raise hell in the school parking lot

I want to see what everyone does to prevent the exhaust heat from cooking the underside of the bed wood!

Red's Headers, with Red's extensions, running into Smithy's 22" steelpacks, remainder of system done by local Midas. Very smooth sound. With the bumper on the tailpipes aren't so obvious.

Did this a few weeks ago. It's for an I6, but I still thought I'd share.

Fit together on floor before final welding:


On the truck. Dumps about front of rear fender:

This may take a bit of time to figure out from the photo, but it is a lot of fun and sounds great!

It is dual exhaust with each side either muffled (20" Dynomax Turbos) or straight pipes, each dumped out the side in front of the rear tires.

The flanges at the crossover tube are electric cutout valves that switch from muffled to straight.





This might be total overkill on a flatty.

Moe, what headers did you use, and did you have to modify them to fit? I've been wanting to get some myself, and was planning to try a set from 70's chevy pickup.

2-1/2 tubing run along the driveshaft into two Magnaflow mufflers with a stainless flex joint tying in the exhaust tips through the running boards.

I have nickel plated Red's headers, extensions, smithy's glass packs and balogne cut 1 3/4" pipes under the running boards. The straight headers sounded out of this world! The glass packs are fairly quiet, but are supposed to get louder as the fibre glass deteriorates.
