I have just finished installing my new exhaust system on my 1970 SS 396 El Camino.

What do you think?

As long as you like it is all that’s important. Its not my taste but I'll hand it to you its different and you will be noticed for sure. I do hope your kidding though.

It's tough to see in the pictures .. but it doesn't look like the pipes have had any exhaust through them (real/fake?)- I'd like to see some shots of the up-turn from underneath the car/overall routing - car is to nice I'm betting fake and they relate to the big Ford pictured outside the garage.

They are a brand new install, not blackened yet.

No, a 454 Mark 4 build to LS6 specs, sort of. Only 10:1 compression, but a bigger cam to get the 450 HP. It has to be able to breath, right?

You had to give it away. You had a hint though as you have seen the e-mails on the project for the truck.

What is life with out a laugh. I had to set them there, didn't I?

GLENN :
I think you are getting your LEAVER yanked !! After riding with Glenn in his El Camino (Can Am cruise) For the Chevelle folks that do know Glenn. Glenn is about 4 or 5 Fries short of a " Happy Meal "-- LOL !
Please stay on your medication !! EH.
P.S. Glenn told me, El Camino owners carry bigger loads ?

It is only a matter of time until some truck guy puts a turbo Duramax in an el Camino and installs those pipes. I can see truckers liking the setup.....perhaps. There was a Cummins in a street rod on Youtube. I was in town last week and there was a GM diesel half ton truck with the exhaust out through the fender above the front wheel. It went up about a foot and a half and turned out to the side. Looked kind of awful.

my neighbor's chevy PU has a 5 megaphone set of air horns from a train that is L-O-U-D!!!!!
I actually am going to put a set of train horns on my pickup, the stacks on the El Camino was a joke.

You might be a ******* if you install exhaust stacks in the bed of your El Camino...

I would short them a bit so as to not stick above the cab as much... :rolleyes:
I was also thinking you should use those electric exhaust cut-outs... Flip a switch and you have an open exhaust... :thumbsup:

They are to loud though. I'm going to put the stock system back on for now, leave the stacks because I like the looks, order a custom under the truck muffler, and the hook the stacks back up. With the cold weather we have been havint (17 degrees) the vapor trailers from the stacks look great.
