Dual Exhaust

[David Mac]

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to route dual exhaust.

1) Were along the driveline to make the crossover to the drivers side?

2) Exactly how to run the pipe by the gas tank (each side)?

If anyone has pictures or advise on their setup it would be appreciated.

Also your suggestions on mufflers. I don't want it loud but also not stock quiet.

Thanks fella's

I have a pickup so my frame set up may be different than yours. I ran both pipes down the right side of the frame and added stainless tips. It's easier to do and it shows I am running a six and not a V8.

As for sound. I'd go to some cruise in's talk with some of the owners and listen to some different mufflers to get an idea of what sound would work for you.

That's Tom Langdon in the photo as we were getting ready to fire up the engine for the first time.

I went and looked at your site a bit. Quite a nice looking truck. I'm wondering what tranny is behind that flathead? Did you upgrade to a 5spd?

I ran mine side by side over the rear engine mount member and then ran the front pipe under the tranny and straight back. I am using scavenger pipes that come out under the rear axle housing. In the past I ran the tail pipe beside the fuel tank the same as the stock right side pipe. I have also run both pipes down the right side all the way.

David-

I ran both pipes down the passenger side on my '50. I have a set of Langdon's tube headers, and used a pair of Smithy mufflers with a crossover just ahead of the mufflers to mellow the tone a bit. I didn't want it too loud either, I drive the car daily and on long road trips and didn't want to be worn out my the drone of a loud exhaust. Very happy with the result.

Here's a few pics:

And for a few sound clips, click here. There is a clip of the exhaust just after getting the pipes on, and several driving clips on the highway too.

Elmer-

Loved the pics of your truck linked to your profile. Looks like you and Tom are having a ball putting the truck together.

David;

I did a cross over just behind my T-5 transmission in my 1948 P-15.

Routed the pipes beside the fuel tank on both sides. Using Smithy glass pack mufflers.

Ed,

I am running a swap meet special T5 tranny out of a Chevy S10. The rear end is stock 3.9. I'm keeping an eye out for a 3.55.

Tom used our pickup as the prototype for his T5 adaptor kit.

Thanks. I'm planning on a t5 swap for a 40 ply one day. Funny I have that picture you sent saved on my pc already. Didn't know it was your truck. The cross member mods are my big concern with the swap.

Thanks to all for the input and pictures, they are a great help.
