I routed the pipes just low enough to clear the parking break cable by a few inches, but just high enough to hug the body of the truck. The parking break cable is easy to move too, you could just weld a U-shaped bracket to the frame and hang the cable from it if it hangs too close to the exhaust. Also, if you're trying to do this exhaust with a 2 wheel drive truck, it'll be a lot easier to do an X-pipe since you have no transfer case. I was going to do an X-pipe but it was too hard on my 4x4.

I don't have any more pics of the routing because I'm currently re-doing it for my ls swap I just finished. But it'll be exactly the same and I'll post more pics up when I get it done.

The cowl hood is cool. Definitely different. Gives it a new look, I like it a lot. Thanks.
