Default Help with running exhaust around Chris alston G-bar

I installed the G-bar and know I can't figure out how to run the exhaust.
I had the standard over the axle setup before but with the G-bar I don't see how that's possible..

has anyone else installed the G-bar on a 1st gen?
Pictures of exhaust routing would be cool.


Thanks for the help,

Rich

Talked to chassisworks and they recommended going under.

Thanks anyway.

Air Ride says that Stainless Works has an exhaust that will work with the Air-Bar. You might give them a call.

I also have a G-Bar and one thing I'm considering is using a narrowed minitub style fuel tank to make the exhaust routing easier. Another option is side exit exhaust but I think this might interfere with subframe connectors.

I think Dr. Gas sells oval exhaust pipe etc that can be used to go under if you decide to go that way.

Let us know what you come up with since there is a lot of guys installing the G-Bar.

Here is a couple shots of the prototype Stainless Works piece.

id use header wrap on the pipe close to the airbag or have the pipes ceramic coated.

Look at how the exhaust is routed on a Chevelle. The overall suspension configuration is similar and there looks to be plenty of room to run it that way. Just run the pipes inboard of the upper links rather than outboard. There are enough differences that A body tailpipes probably won`t fit but a set of Flowmaster universal tailpipes (which are multi piece) or 2 piece A body tails might fit with a little tweaking.
