Question Exhaust with Triangulated 4 Link

Does anyone have any photos of how you routed your exhaust out the back with a triangulated 4 link rear end and a rear fuel cell? If so I would like to see pics of how you did it.

Thanks!

I am planning to run mine outside the frame rails. I think there will be enough room between the tire and frame and there definitely is enough room under the bed outside the rails. Using the triangulated setup, I put the lower arms directly under the frame rails so I could put wider tires in. It means tubbing the bed to use the wider tires and there is still enough room afterwards to fit the exhaust pipes. Or at least that is how it looks so far. We'll see soon enough.

yes.. due to the size and position of the lower arms, I had to go out in the wheel well
we had to step down to 2in pipes here to make it look right

my airbags are outside the frame, and consume all the space there..

I thought about going outside the frame but not sure how much room I will have with the wheel and tire that I will run and I also am staying with the stock fender. I really want to go out the back but I will have to see what I have after I get the rear end and fuel cell installed. I exited my exahust out the back on my 69 and it made it a lot quieter in the cab when I am rolling down the Interstate so would sure like to do the same on my 56.
