I really want to have side pipes on my hot rod. Two reasons.. first the underfloor on a gen1 chassis is a nightmare. There’s just not enough room and it’s always rattling against the chassis.. I’ve tried so many things to fix it but I’m losing.. and second, I would like to have a bigger diameter exhaust to free up some power.

And three.. it would be cool 😎

So, has anyone done it? Is it something I can do with some “bend kit”? Either plastic or metal bends to mock it up? I’m not a welder.. this doesn’t seem like a project to learn on.

I’m also not rich and worried this seems like a big budget item to fabricate!

Ideas on how to start?
