do pre bent exhaust kits fit with mini tubs?
 
I want to buy a pre bent exhaust kit with an x pipe for my 69 camaro.im thinking about a magna flow system and i'm wondering if this will fit with inboard springs and a mini tub set up?

I can only speak for my set up, the car is outfitted with dse minitubs and there 3" drop leafs and shocks with offset shackles in a 67 with non staggered shocks. I went with a stainless works 3 inch, complete exhaust system with x pipe. The tails did not fit, and Ive been messing with it for 6 months it s***s. Used the rock valley tank as well. I think its gonna be tough to find a system for that set up. Any exhaust system you buy up to the mufflers should be ok, you probably will have to custom bend the tails.

just do like i did with my mustang run a x pipe then 2 pipes back to a muffler and have two turn downs before the axle.

Rich,
Did you get your tank with the corners cut off? Would that even have helped?

That probably would have helped, unfortunatly I had to have that shiny SS tank. Now Im cutting these tails and screwing around with band clamps trying to piece it together. I got frustrated a couple months back and tore them off and put 60 degree dumps on the back of the muffs but its just to loud. I really want to drive the car and dont want it to drive me crazy.

The bad thing about turndowns at the muffler is that you get exhaust in the car when sitting, the exhaust kicks up any dust on the road when sitting, and it is loud.

And it won't pass inspection in some states.

Ive got a ricks s.s. tank and mine does not have the ends cut off either.I ordered mine before I saw that modification done.sound like the kit im looking at is not going to fit.Ill probably just buy the x pipe and mufflers and bring it all to my exhaust guy.thanks for the feedback

i had to do my exhaust that way i have a tcp rear coilovers on it or side pipes but my subframe conectors are in the way.kentucky is nice we only inspect cars from out of state even if its brand new.
