K5 exhaust

Does anyone have a picture of how they routed the exhaust on a k5. I'm doing a single 3 inch system until after the muffler. Looks like everything's in the way lol, driveshaft, gas tank, ect. Right now it's stock height, will probably go to a 2-4 inch lift soon.

Re: K5 exhaust

How much lift are you running on that one?

Looks like it goes out over the spring and past the tire. Thanks, gives me a starting point.

Re: K5 exhaust

Quick heads up too, you may want to at least decide on which type of lift you're going to use before routing your exhaust so you can plan ahead. For example, if you plan on using a shackle flip in the rear it'll most likely interfere with your exhaust unless you're going straight out the back or terminating it under the truck somewhere.
