So tell me, how does it look? I've worked on it everyday this past week, and I'm so proud of myself. Its just a brake job of being back on the road. I was wondering where I should have the new dual exahust exit, in front of the rear tires, straight back, or behind the rear wheels? well here are some pictures

I like em out the back, maybe with the 3 in. chrome tips, and under a chrome bumper. I put my class 3 hitch on first so the pipes would be close but not touch it.
Look like you have a good start there. :-)

In the still cool hours of the night, you can hear chevys rusting away.

You'll get alot better flow if you have it exit at 45 deg. right before the rear wheels because it wont have to go through pipes that are bent to go over the rear diff. it will also cost less because you won't have to pay for all those extra bends. I've also heard that coming out at 45 deg. will help draw the exhaust out faster. I'd also not use any pipe bigger that 2.5 inch diameter.

FT, if you are referring to my post, you musta missed the word tips. They are about 12 in. long and are choked down to the pipe size, on one end. Some are flat cut, but mine are 45 cut on the end. There are a lot of them in the Tarheel.

I would deffinately go in front of the rear tires. There is no advantage to having them behind the bumper except for a little less noise. If you plan on hauling people or pets in the back with or without the canopy, then without question put them to the side(s). Air behind a moving vehicle is often pushed forward and can be sucked inside a canopy. If the exhaust exits where this turbalance takes place, then exhaust fumes will be sucked in with it.
I saw a diesel pickup without a canopy pulling a hill in a lane beside me. He had a large single pipe exiting right under his hitch--looked real ugly. Typical diesel black smoke was swirrling around half of his bed. Looked like he was having a barbecue in the back.
