how have you routed the exhaust around the steering rack tower on a 350 chevy conversion. looking for ideas to do mine.

mine has a tall tower so might have to change the rack before i can do anything

I had a local muffler shop carefully bend the exhaust down pipe on the drivers side (LHD) on my SBC.
I had tried a Suncoast down pipe, but it did not fit my car.. Just have to be careful to make room to
change the oil filter and miss the E brake stuff.

Sorry but I do not have a photo of this pipe...

 

mines RHD so its the starter side. do you have shortie headers or ram horns.

do you go chassis or block side of the rack tower

 

Ram Horns and block side.

 

Post lost !!!!!!

Short version. Do it Roger's way. RHD complicate things, a lot !!!

 

The P.O. of my series 1 put on 2 1/'2" pipe to the rear. however on the drivers side he used 2" past the steering rack into 2 1"2'. I believe this creates a restriction to the engine which results in drivers side manifold temps being 200 deg F higher. I want to get this corrected but have not made it a priority yet.

 

just got the engine lowered in. using old c4 corvette headers as a guide

dont know whether its in the right place yet, might need raising and moving forward
