Side Exhaust

Where can I buy a set of exhaust that exits right in front of the back tires? I have a 73 f100 302 with mid range headers. I can build my own but would rather buy some that have been tested.

I had a shop put a pipe from the y back for 50 bucks to in front of the rear tires dual exhausta y pipe or mufflers will be more expensive

I wonder why they don't sell kits for it being as it's a fairly common setup

It runs great

But performance improved by leaps and bounds because the truck went from a two-barrel 360FE/NP435. stock manifolds and merged tubes to a single 2.25 tube with a long, heavy, rusty muffler to a 4V, dual plane intake, TKO five-speed, Sanderson headers, and the 2.5-inch exhaust system above.

It drones a bit... the cab could use more sound deadener but there is an in-cab tank currently in my way.

I once had a '70 Chevy CST-10 long bed that the previous owner had run short exhaust (and 2 cherry bombs) with exits in front of rear tires .... had nice aluminum wheels on front, rear wheels were very pitted and corroded. I eventually bought new wheels and had a new dual system with exits at rear made up.

My '77 when I bought it in 1986 like wise had side exits (also with 2 cherry bombs) in front of the rear wheels .... those rear wheels were discolored (were white wagon wheels) and soon I had new exhaust made up with rear side exits and was repainting those wheels.

They both were too loud as well.

Just sayin' .....

Here's my side exit setup. 2.25" tubing and dual Thrush glasspacks coming from stock manifolds. No drone and fairly quiet when cruising. Hammer down and it gets a bit louder.
