i bought a set from whitney. headers back. pipes exited in front of the wheels. didnot like the sound so i had tailpipes bent with 3 inch cans. 21/2 pipes and the inside of the glasspack is also 2 1/2. has a great sound now. will go old school with smithies on the 38.

I'm switching to side exits as soon as possible, but, I also have to move the exhaust to put a rear mounted gas tank in it.

One Caveat on side exit exhaust, be sure the tail pipe section is angle down and/or far enough away from the from the bed sheet metal. That exhuast will cause the sheetmetal to deteriorate really quickly. That is what killed my pops '72 from the wheel well back just ate a huge cancer spot in the sheetmetal.
