Bagged and Exhaust
« on: August 24, 2010, 06:36:27 pm »
I just picked up a 75 2wd K5. Future plans are for a bagged suspension. But right now the exhaust needs to be addressed. I will be replacing the entire exhaust. As far as headers go, can I run the rear dump style with out ground scraping interference?

I dont know if those headers will end below the frame. My Thorley headers do. As long as the exhaust is above the bottom of the frame, you shoudnt have a scraping issue. If you can, wait until you bag it then do the exhaust.

I wish I could. It still has the original 1975 cat in it and a horrible exhaust leak. I will run it by my exhaust guy and see what he thinks.

Most full length headers will hang below the frame, there is a post in the tech section headers for lowered trucks.
