dam that looks pretty nice, thats where i want mine :yes:. did you get that done at a shop? cause i heard that it cost more for a shop to do it like that cause of bending and more piping. im gonna get a shop to make mine out of scrap

oscar its actually cheaper for the shop to bend a new piece of pipe than it is to cut and weld scrap pieces together. The machines that are used to bend the pipe have diagrams to tell ya where to put the bends. Also a good muffler shop will custom bend the pipe so its tucked up and not rubbing or hitting anything and will be symmetrical and exit at the right angles.
My old 70 had the pipes come over the rear and and exit right behind the tires and and the tips were cut on an angle. You could barely see the tailpipes.

ooo i dont know how they do it i just thought they made it out of scrap, so what do i tell them? or do i bring my own pipes?

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but it gives you an idea.....

 

[Novaman Oscar]

ya i think thats the way im gonna go just not sure how much it will run me or what do i tell the shop when i ask them to do that

 

[6NOVA4]

ask around who is a good muffler shop that does hot rods and muscle cars.
When you bring the car to them grab a piece of pipe and show them you want the tailpipes over the axle and exit down at an angle behind the tire. Its up to you if you want a chrome tip or just have them finish off the pipe straight or at an angle. The other option is to buy a pre-bent kit from summit or flowmaster or whoever and then have the muffler shop hang it and weld it all up. To have a muffler shop do the complete exhaust, you install the headers and supply the mufflers around here in Ca it would run $375-500 depending on the shop.

ooo ok ill bring some pic to them as well to give them a better idea but not sure on buying a kit i was gonna do that in the start but a few friends of mine and some muscle guy cars told me of a local place that everyone goes to that dose work for pretty cheap about $300-400 so ill just have the shop do it and ask them how they make them and such cause i have no clue how a shop makes the pipes welds them and such but im gonna ask for x-pipes :yes:
