This has always been a concern when using the g-bar / air-bar and routing exhaust. Talking with Rodger (Ironworks) last night about routing the exhaust on my car he didn't think it would be that difficult to fabricate.

If your fuel tank is narrowed it won't be a problem, if you don't then it makes things that much harder.

I've seen it done a couple different ways, neither of them were that impressive... I'm sure Rodger will post up a few pictures of the exhaust as soon as it's finished.


BTW, how's your builder coming along with the deadline?

I did stay with a stock tank and added sump and baffling to it. So yes it will be interesting on the exhaust. Might do a turn down right behind the rear tires I am thinking.

The build is coming along lately I think. Going up next week to check it out. Apparently he has been actually workin on my car!

look forward to your car's pics.

I may have put my foot in my mouth but it should fit. We have done way tighter exhaust then that on quite a few cars. So I guess this just seems easy. I will let you know what we find.

It's like fitting your size 10 foot in a size 8 shoe. 3 inchers are going to be super tough unless you buy ovals or don't want your car as low as possible. Notching the trunk is the best way.

They notched the trunk on Lisa's car.

Dog earing the fuel tank is a big help. You can always go to 2.5" after the mufflers with little if any power loss....really depends on motor output I guess. Personally I would do what ever it took to get the pipes to the rear of the car.

What are we down to....one more week before the homecoming?
