Pypes exhaust on lowered truck?
« on: April 18, 2010, 04:58:06 PM »
How much can you lower a C10 before you run into clearance issues with a pypes 2.5" dual exhaust? I have an 84 SWB at stock ride height at the moment. I dont have the exhaust installed yet so I have no reference to measure from.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome! Nice to see you on here Jon...I recognize the name from a couple other sites I frequent.
 As far as the exhaust goes, I have no first hand knowledge of the Pypes system, but if it's placed/bent well enough to use...other things should be a problem first ;) Post up some pic's! Lorne

Thanks! I definately recognize your name from at least the bullet. I figure the exhaust will probably fit a lowered truck without issue as its pretty common. I will most likely only do a 2/4 drop since I still use it as a truck and drive it through the winter.

Heres a couple pics.


The Caddy 500/TH400 thats going in it soon. Still need to address the oil pan, change the water pump and get some fresh ignition parts.

Ohhhhhhh Cad 500 swap. That's definitely got my interest as I'd love to do one of these. Even a high-compression 472 would be fine by me! Let's see some more pics!

Owners have used them on trucks dropped 5/7.
