Exhaust route

[fordmas]

I’ve been looking at this exhaust every time I walk by the truck since I bought it a few months ago and it just doesn’t look right. The last one I had wasn’t hanging down this low and I don’t think it was underneath the drive shaft. Feel like this should run up close to the body right?

With the manual trans you could go over the driveshaft at the bell housing.

Looks factoryish. My 89 sub had a similar setup. Isn't the pipe supposed to go under the notch in the crossmember though?

Is it a TBI truck? If so that is correct.

 

[fordmas]

It is a TBI.

Looks like my 85 when stock.
What’s the problem? Looking to do something else?

Not really a problem, more just curious. Never had a TBI before and wasn't sure if that was stock or not. I was just thinking that it seemed lower than it should be, ready to get it self hung up on something. I could have sworn that the 85 I had many moons ago didnt' have that hanging there (6.2 though). The only picture I have of it isn't the right angle but I randomly found a picture of another member's TBI and its exactly the same, just with a t-case skid plate.

Maybe I'll run it up higher if I ever change the muffler or go duals.

Looks like how my suburban was (i assumed it was stock) and the blazer was similar.

i think the "notch" is just how they got the correct height for the transmission mount? Ive never seen a pipe run below that.

I dont have any pics handy to post, might be a few shots in my build thread showing how i rerouted higher.
