you can start with camaro taipipes, add 4 mandrel 90s and go to town, the camaro tailpipes go at an angle when going over axle, so you need to cut them on the front side of the axle on the vertical part and clock them so the pipe going over axle points right at fuel tank and is parallel with car center line, install a 90º go out towards side of car, install another 90º to get exhaust going back to tailpanel and finish how you want.

pretty easy i have done about 4 of them, and the air bar uses the same style pipes as the quadra link.

Jake did a awesome job. We cannot mandrel bend 3" (1) piece tailpipes that sharp. It would have to be fabed from bends like Jake did. It does get more tricky though if you slam the car. At the ride height we run EmptyNest, there is absolutly no room for 3" tailpipes. Actually at EmptyNest ride height, 2 1/2" tailpipes would not clear either. But on most cars 2 1/2" will clear at a nice low (3" drop) ride height.

Vegas 69 is not quite as low as EmptyNest, but probably to low for 3" tailpipes. Vinnies car is a little taller then both.




If you want it real low..........


Up and over the cradle
