[Big Orange 83]

next friday im getting flowmasters installed on my 83 k10. do yall think i should have the exhaust coming straight out the back or at 45 degree angles by the back wheels?? i cant make my mind up...:rocking:

personally i hate the look of you the back on any truck, i love the look of big chrome tips out sideways.

if your guy can do it, 45 them out the back, and tuck them as close to the tires as you can. so you'll end up with them 45'd out the back, and from the back they'll look kinda like / \

with mine, and 7" of lift, i'm going to dump it just past the rear axle with a 3 1/2" slash cut tip at just enough angle so you can JUST see it under the frame.

Dump them behind the rear axle, it makes it a little more throaty and also cleans the back of your truck up a little bit.

[90Z71Stepside]

Go straight out the back.

increases interior resonance, and just generally sounds like crap on anything taller than a stock 2wd.

I agree here, This is a slick looking setup if you can find a shop that can do it correctly.

56" rear springs have been a problem with this setup before, with 63s, forget about it. ends up sitting too far back, and looking goofy.

[Stratosman]

both out the same side

[neevnav]

I'm partial to straight out the back. Just love the look.

I went with 45's out the back and it looks sick and doesnt sound to bad in the cab.

[XLR8N]

i would bring the pipes all the way to the back and 45 it right by the bumper. hiding the pipes.

[go-fast]

87 gmc jimmy full size has left side single @45 and newer 2 doors have right side @45.buy both and have a shop mount 'em save money on custom work and if you buy in walker,they are mandrel bent.good for a cheapo high flow exhaust.both are 2 3/4 pipes.

[Big Orange 83]

i called the shop and they said $80 bucks either way.. im still trying to figure out what i wanna do.. just looks so damn good both ways.. lol

[GreaseDog]

run stacks through the hood. MUCH cooler.

I prefer the look of slash cut 45's out the side.

[go-fast]

the oe tails kind of tuck up in the well and look damm good with both just poking out.

[S/C Z71]

45's on an OOBS looks bad ass IMO.

[chevy_addicted]

[chevy_addicted]

I couldn't refrain,thats what my buddy calls it when you run your pipes straight out the back!:eyecrzy:

[CHEVYx454]

if you dont tow heavy loads for long distances 45 them in front of the rear tires

[Big Orange 83]

[XLR8N]

I like that. did it look good? just solid black?

if you hook it in front of your tires, it increases the chances of it getting snagged and torn off by something when you go mudding
