Could somebody post some pics of how they have their dual exhaust routed? Car is a '75 350 auto. I'm looking at 2 1/2" pipes. My main areas of concern are the trans and rearend.
Any help will help. Thanks.

I notched and reinforced my crossmember so I could run the 3" pipe straight back from the collecter. Then I turned into the x-pipe under the drive shaft. Out of the x-pipe straight back with a little jog tight under the camber plate then up to the reverse flow mufflers. Then out under the liscense plate. Also there are no gaskets to go bad, ball & flange type connections easily removed for repair's if needed.
The system is Stahl headers, 3" Dr. Gas siamesed x-pipe, Spin Tech reverse flow mufflers. This is the most awsome power and sound out of any exhaust I have heard on a vette. Way better ( In my opinion) than side pipes. It can not be explained you would just have to hear it.
Here's the best pictures I have.

Yes, I do not have the spare tire anymore. I also made an aluminum gas tank so I would have some room to play with when I did the exhaust. I originally had Hooker side pipes but took a chance on this system. I can't explain how much better I like it. It's Awsome!!
The clearence is not as bad as you would think. I only have problems on the biggest speed bumps and driveways. I could adjust the ride height up more but I like the way it looks low. Actually it's only the clamps that hit under the seats. I did not take the extra 1.5" into acount when I layed out the system. I could possibly have put these elsewhere and not had a problem at all. If you call a minor scrape here and there a problem.
Anyway Happy vetting.
If you live in southern California and want to hear it I will be at willow springs on May 1 & 2.

Thanks. I'm concered about ground clearance too. I didn't want to have the new pipes any lower than the stock system, but i guess it's not that big an issue. :thumbs:
