Default Ridetech / Exhaust

Not sure where to put this as I am asking about exhaust mostly, but people with the Ridetech suspension...

Can the fine folks on here post some photos of how you routed your exhaust up/over or under the axle for those that installed the Ridetech 4 link suspension......Juts looking at and it looks like the muffler shop would have to get creative and test his skills to maneuver around in there...I like the pipes that come out behind the rear tire down at an angle.....but open to all options....

Yes I have found a few shots on here but would like to see more in that specific area if possible from behind underneath...Thanks!

I just had mine dump before the rear end and the tips angle down and to the side slightly, I didn't go over the axle

I did the same. Couldn't get the pipes over the axles with my set up.

Here is the Lokar Camaro



I have more examples on my PC that I will post up for you.

Not the greatest shot but its all I have atm. Me and my brother made them work from the magnaflow kit that I bought. They where 3" rear exits for a leaf-spring car. I have about an 1" from the shock and 1/2-5/8" from the tank. I know it looks like its touching on the tank side due to the camera angle. I don't think we could have went over.

I went up and over the axle with 3" I also have the sway bar too.



I can have the complete exhaust system unbolted and on the floor in about 15 mins.

I used Ridetech's rear sway bar and rear tail pipes that I bought through Prodigy who got them from stainless works. I'd go direct to stainless works because the above mention vendor has well known issues. We had to mod them to fit the sway bar
