Hello Everyone. I have another “need your opinion” post. I’m trying to figure out how I am going to run the exhaust. The car has been underbraced when it had the cage installed. I do like the fact that the X-frame is beefed up a little. The issue is that the tubing interferes with where the exhaust should run. I do not want to run it under the bracing as that would kill the ground clearance. I had thought of getting some 3.5” square tubing and welding it between the bracing and the frame to make a channel for the exhaust.

Don’t mind the battery cable in the pics. I haven’t started the electrical fiasco yet.

Is there anyone that has any experience in this area or could just give me some insight? I do appreciate any and all info and advice.

Not very familiar with the frame layout on a Biscayne but what about cutting out a section of the brace where you want the exhaust to go and replacing it with a section that has a pass-thru for the exhaust tubing. Might get to have your cake and eat it, too.

That’s kind of what I was thinking of doing. I was just seeing if anyone that had any experience in framework could chime in with thoughts. Unfortunately I know it will probably look like an after thought, which technically it is. 🤦🏻*♂️
I just want to make sure that making the changes will keep the rigidity of the underbracing.

Straight headers Matt. Sorry…😜😜

Ooooohhhh…. We got comedians up in here! :lmao:
Lake pipes would be better or even a couple hair dryers dumping out the side.

Have you been driving the Chevelle any, Scott?

Question… Does anyone have two of these laying around they don’t need? They are fittings for the heater on the Vintage Air unit. I have straights now and need the 45’s. Unfortunately, they are on back order until after Christmas. 🤦🏻*♂️

Not too much to update. I did manage to fab up the electronics mount and received some goodies in the mail.

I took some planning cues from Marty (syborg tt) and picked up some Mag Daddy mounts and Velcro straps. I didn’t have time to save up the twist ties. :lolhit:

I will look tomorrow

I appreciate that, Marty! They actually arrived earlier this week, surprisingly.

I’ve been tackling the wiring here and there when I get the opportunity. I may have to start working on it at night when everyone is in bed.

I’ll post some updates soon. Thanks again!

I finally got out to the garage and into the attic. Unfortunately I don’t have one.
