Exhaust for a lowered bus

I have run aftermarket mufflers on busses and will never run them again, as if you have a small motor, like 1641 and smaller, no need for aftermarket. STOCK mufflers tuck, and sound good. Not that pea shooter sound from bugs...lol.

I built this, on to a A1 sidewinder.

I'm running a 1679 in my kombi, and would like to be able to mount my rear bumper and hursts- but the muffler I have
wont allow it (unless I cut/bend and reweld it) -which will then create dragging issues from my drive to street (drive is uphill a bit)..would I be better off running this?

here is what i have now- the pressed bumper brackets can't be mounted (nor the hurst brackets).

Franks old bus, I have rolled with this bus a few times. From what I recal the exhaust is just twin single packs on an extension from the header flange...I have a picture of it somewhere, I might dig it up..

Nice purchase, I always liked that bus.

I stepped up and bought the ceramic coated side winder with the stainess steel muffler. I haven't installed it yet because the guy that is building my trans is draggin ass and I haven't received it yet. I took the dual Empi quiet pack off of it because it looks gay and with the trans not having 4th gear I can drive a little bit faster (45mph) around town with no exhaust. It has a merged header on it so that is the reason why the 3 bolt flange sticks out so far. Please post some pics of the bus if you can find some. Yeah it's not a bad bus. A little more rust that I would like but it's just a beater for me. I still need to pull the Z bed out and install my early middle seat.

Here is the one I just put together for my westy:

There is a way of cutting the pipes and flipping the flange over and giving your self more clearance. I had this done on my really low kombi.

It is a little hard:

here is my ghetto setup but it works and cost me $33, pipe was $13, muffler was $20. i need to space my bumper a it or dent the bottom side so it clears, oh well.

I did this:

Bought the replacement muffler ONLY from this:

Then already had old rusty version of this:

Notice the merging of the pipes are much tighter, so the flange is tucked under the apron.

Took both to muffler shop, cut off muffler and added a 3 bolt flange so here is the result:

this is just for stock motors, or SUPER mild motors...and only if youre EXTREMELY low. everything hides up and behind the apron and bumper. Cant see the tips even when laying on the ground from the rear.
