I'm looking for some headers for the same idea. I can't find any that go to the outside of the frame

moggey01 · 01-17-2015, 02:57 AM

Race car fab guys have them. Rick Jones, Jerry Bickel, etc. You weld mounts to the trim rings and weld mounts to the inside of the bed to bolt to. What you are looking at on that truck is probably hand made.

Sorry to bring this thread back up, but save me doing another thread anyone got any more photos of fender exit exhausts?

I am just about to cut into the side of my 71 C10 and wanted to see if i am making the right choice ?

..and the guy never got any advice on installing the 700r4 tranny

hdff · 05-03-2015, 10:38 AM

i don't have any pics but if you are askin for opinions i say don't do it... once it's done it's done. if you decide you don't like it is a lot of work to fix it.

You're going to build 'em, not buy them. If it were a kit I think we'd have seen more of them. Dare to dream though, it could ne a niche product.

If it were me (and it ain't) I'd suggest using a full over-the axle exhaust system, but use valves to optionally divert it to the side-exits. Best of both worlds, quiet cruise, scare the children next to you at the traffic light...

To keep the fender hole small I might suggest rigid-mounting the exhaust tip to the fender itself (properly insulated) and then use a small section of that flex-braid exhaust pipe (like you see on OEM cars and turbos so often) so there's some give.

That way it'll never rattle on the fender and your exhaust system movement remains (largely) independent from the movements of the body and frame.

As for "Don't do it, Len" he never explained himself on the Flintstones either.

I am making the system from scratch and have placed the muffler boxes under the floor, the plan was to cut out a hole of say 3.5" and fit a trim piece flush with the fender, then run the 2.5" pipe inside this independent.

With 1/2" clearance all around i think it should be ok.

Will report back once i have done one side

**KyleSeal** · 05-05-2015, 10:24 AM

Thinking of doing it to mine too.

Paul V · 05-26-2015, 05:35 PM

Ok so i bit the bullet and started on this, going to turn up a alloy ring to fit between the fender and the pipe to give it a better look.

WarMonger · 05-26-2015, 05:37 PM

Looks good. Did you make that ring?

WarMonger · 05-26-2015, 06:24 PM

No problems asking

This was a 3 1/2" one, got it here in the UK from an exhaust parts company.

When Stacey did it to Copperhead he cut a hole threw the frame and welded a tube in 1st then ran the ext pipe threw that so it wouldn't have to be hanging under the frame. He did a really nice job. Have considered it but haven't done it yet. Each to their own, it is what hot rodding it all about.

Twisted78SS · 05-26-2015, 06:46 PM

Tootsie had them, but they were custom made

I like it.

But if I did it on my truck, I'm afraid that it's look like this (different color...and RAT's just a driver) after a few weeks.

mud.man.rj · 05-26-2015, 10:01 PM

You burning coal there mag or what...

Hey, Mud.

Paul V · 10-03-2015, 04:17 PM

Just to bring this to a end

I have now finshed the side exit pipes and here are some photos of how i did it for anyone who wants to have a go.

Cut out on the body

Photos of the trim pipes with the alloy rings fitted used to hide the fixings.

And a video the final results.
