So I have this idea to swap out my exhaust for a new one. I have plans to swap out for long tubes (doug thorleys) and instead of going straight out the rear, I want to plumb it out along where the running boards would be and incorporate a step on them. Kind of the basic look would be like the older corvettes with the side pipes.
Has anyone done this with their Avy? I emailed an exhaust shop here in Phoenix and they said
"Well on top of clearance issues under the frame, there is also no place to put a good flowmaster or magnaflow on the outside of your frame. So we will also have sound and heat issues. To be honest that truck really isn't designed for side pipes and it would really end up being more of a hassle then a gain. Unfortunately you are a little limited on options with that truck due to size/space restrictions. I would recommend either going two pipes out the same side in front of the tire or one pipe behind each tire."
Now to each their own, but I'm tired of having dual out the rear, they flex to much and break my cladded bumper, I don't want it piped out behind the rear tires, (45 or 90 degrees's) because any rocks will mar the finish of the exhaust.
Please any thoughts or tips would be amazing!
