Rerouting Exhaust on 6" Suspension Lift

[bluex]

Mine was about $50 if I remember right. 180 is way to much imo, I'd only pay that if he was rerouting it to the back of the transmission.

I was hoping you woukd chime in. You have a pic of how yours is routed?

In that case, spend the money on the welder, and build your own exhaust.

2 45° bends from somewhere like oreilly's, and an o2 sensor bung will do the same thing the pic did. Those bent pieces are about $6 each, and the o2 sensor bung is about $2. Chop the 90° off your pipe, stick the new pieces up there, 5 mins of welding... BOOM. perfect.

^ Pretty much what I was thinking, although the bends may be a bit more than 6$ each (Summit/Jegs charges $20~ for 3" mandrel stuff); Still a far cry from $180, that's highway robbery.

^^ i got the stuff to do my camaro exhaust at the local oreillys. They were 6 and change each for 45° bends.

I thought I did but I guess I don't. I've checked everywhere. It basically looked just like the one pictured above though just not mandrel bent.

The stock size on a half ton 350 is 2". You will have a pretty serious gap to fill if you buy 3" to do this mod unless you're redoing the whole system with 3"

I used 2 1/4" on the Camaro. Those 2" 45° bends would work perfect for that. Next time you are at a parts store, look at the exhaust stuff. Slide 2 45° bends together and you will see what i mean about it hugging the trans. Honestly it could be clamped together, but it would look like

Yeah..... I'm not sure what I was thinking. For me, the y pipe is 2.5 inches so that's what I would end up using. Maybe I thought 3" because that's what my system is after the y.
