4x4 or 2WD? Some of the trucks had a double hump transmission crossmember,as some had true dauls from the factory.

On a 2wd you can go under the crossmember. On a 4x4 you have plenty of room on the drivers side above the crossmember on the right side you have to go between the transfer case and the frame.

it is a 4wd and i have enough room for going over the crossmemeber on the driver side and could possibly do it with a couple 45s then just straight pipe it but on the passenger side i have the t case hump and front drive axle that is in the way and i hear that id need to use 90 degree bends to get up over the t case but idk what to do

our 82 k10 both pipes are over the x member just fine

i dont see the problem

it has headers full length,

maybe that is why

[81scottsdale400]

really fast 86 mine is the long box version of the scottsdale and i have long tube flow tech headers from oreilleys and the center of the collectors hit right smack dead center of the cross memeber so i have to kinda build a camel hump over the cross member but idk if its safe to use 90 degree bends in the tubing or not what do u reccommend?
