I was cruising about looking at 4.9 swap stuff and came across some interesting exhaust pics yesterday. I was being stupid and did not bookmark the photo's and have been searching in the archives and other groups online and have been unable to find them again.

I am interested in exhausts that people have put together without cutting out the trunk. I found a picture of Ed Park's exhaust setup and thought that was an interesting setup but can't find it again, can anyone help with posting a pic of that one also?

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the replies, but my problem is that I need to have a cat installed to be able to pass the visual on the emission testing.

I am leaning toward a modified V6 style exhaust but I saw what i thought was a picture of Ed Park's exhaust as he or one of his guys described on the Yahoo Cadero Owners Group, and I wanted to see it again for reference.

Check Bubba's site: http://members.fortunecity.com/bubbajoexx/id17.htm (scroll down about 1/2 ways)

He has a picture of a modified cross over pipe similar to the Fiero V6 that would allow you to use a similar to stock exhaust set up.

There are some excellent pics here from Rockcrawl with cats

Sorry, our computer is in the shop, msn virus took it out, so we are on the laptop for a wee bit. Jscott's car has the exhaust routing the same as stock V6 using a cat and a muffler. You can find his many page build thread with some exhaust pics in the General area.

This is either Tom Hill's or George Ryan's at Wheatstock. But looks like no cat and the trunk is out.

Hey jeff, how are you supporting your moofler?Just standard supports, or anything special? Also, has anyone shortened a Flowmaster muffler? Can I just cut it, and reweld the end back on?

Here is my web page that shows my install. About half way down it shows the exhaust system (if you need a higher res picture I think I can fine one). I use a cat from the exhaust to a turbo tube. It makes for a clean looking system and sounds great.

If you can not run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!

You guys that are using the rear dump. What kind of bends are you using to make the U for the pipe to hit the muffler? I had a shop today bend me one up, just to see how things would fit, and it looks like it will be waaaaay to low. Are there any tricks to tucking the muffler up in there as high as possible, and still run decent pipes from the manifold to the muffler?

Take a look at:

Towards the end of the page 2 messages.

No trunk cutout and true duals. The mufflers are where the cat and stock muffler were.
