So i am replacing the whole exhaust do to the fact the Transporter tore it off the car. Does anyone have pictures of their exhaust on a similar car? I was told it can be done it just wont be in the factory location. Any help will be great and Thanks in advance.

I am trying to figure out the exhaust on my 62 Impala and I also have an air ride system. My system currently dumps out under the vehicle before the rear wheels. I am wanting to put the exhaust to the rear of the vehicle.
Where do you want your exhaust?

Not sure was hoping for some pics. Looking at maybe behind the wheel but tucked up out of sight.

If you have air ride and any sort of width on your tire we're stuck with the outlet ahead of the rear wheels. I have 295's and my frame sits on the axle. No way a pipe is getting past there.

Hello - what you want to do is possible I've e seen this but can't remember where. I suggest you take it to a muffler shop to have it done, regardless because if I recall there is a mod that is necessary to keep the pipe from hitting. The ones I've seen roll over the top of the rear end and the exhaust runs all the way to the back just like a stock exhaust. The restriction you will ultimately face is tire width if you go to the back over the rear end with the exhaust. You will likely be able to get 8 - 9 inch width max.
Perhaps you can call
Hoppos in California and ask them. They do allot of lowriders out there and may have some pics to share.
Hope this helps!

I "heard" that the muffler shop has to bend the pipe into an oval shape going over the hump.

My rear tires are 11.5" wide at the bulge. As I mentioned, it can be done, at least on a 59 X frame car.

Depending upon your pipe diameter, rim diameter and width, you can route the pipe in a factory style routing out to the rear bumper. The over the axle pipe can be routed "inside" the wheel to allow for clearance past the air bag.
I don't have any photos to share, but that's how the exhaust is routed on my father's '59 with air suspension.

Take a look at the exhaust in the background of this video at the beginning. It shows an unusual routing over vs under the rear axle to create more space for tires and wheels.

Hope this gives you some ideas on exhaust routing options.

That's NOT unusual. GM routed the exhaust over the rear axle.

You talking about the red car? That's just over the axle factory stock routing. Also looks like a lowrider shop and they use little wheels/tires so have lots of room for exhaust.
