What headers are you going to use? Exhaust exit ideas.


And a free idea on routing.



Not the best, but at least an idea.

Thanks Rich, I'm running the shorty headers; I can't remember where I got them from, either James Duff or Tom's Bronco. I'm going to try and get the exhaust all the way out the back if I can. I'm leaning toward a layout very similar to what you posted the picture of. My mufflers are going to have to be different with the 4-link, but I think I can make it work.

I did a true dual out the passenger side only.
Crossed the driver side over between the trans and Bell housing, ran crossover tube close to where they come together, then two separate tubes and two separate mufflers down the passenger side.
Obviously a 4-link is gonna make that real estate completely different, but it sure made life easier for me.

Well hopefully my pic helps you figure the route. And FYI not my Bronco, just a pic off the CB site or somewhere on the web. I thought it was a clean tucked up set up. Yes heat to the floor pans, but at least not dragging the exhaust system off on the rocks.

I got a bunch of exhaust parts today, starting on the mind-boggling task of figuring out how it is all going to fit. LOL

Looks like fun! Maybe think of it as a puzzle. Hopefully you’d liked puzzles when you were a kid. :-)

You sure you did not order a DIY jungle gym? Lol With how the rest of your build looks (awesome BTW), I am sure you will have this slicked up in no time and looking just as good.

Thanks for the comment Rich, It's going to be a puzzle for sure. I've been fabricating in my mind, but I haven't actually started putting things together yet.

The Bronco project saw some sunlight today. I turned it around with the help from my wife and a couple winch's it went without a hitch.

Looking good, maybe the sunlight will help grow the project faster? Aren't those car skates the cats meow? Now is the easy time to do this. There is a 73 Bronco under there. No please do not to this, I want to see your project thru to the end. It's gonna be awesome!

That rig is pretty cool in its own right though. No chance of body damage on the trails with that one.
