    Are my side mirrors mounted right? It just seems odd to have to look thru the windshield for the passenger side to see behind you?

    Where does the exhaust exist? Stock was exist behind the rear wheel....seems to keep the fumes down. Side pipes and straight out the back might make the exhaust curl into the cab.

    Here's my setup.....
    I have searched the threads for some preferences and it seems that you have to get the exhaust out into the airflow and not the turbulence....I don't see how that will be possible with my current setup or even out the back since the tires are as wide as they are....... Does anybody have pics showing a system that actually works?????

    think if you turned those out you'd have less fumes (that's how mine is set up)

    Mine exits the rear driver's corner and we suffer not from fumes anymore. Mines also tucked w/in the frame rails off of manifolds, not headers (so maybe not much help). Looks like you have some $$ in what you have but in frame headers are available from Novak.:v6:

    The '71 ran headers and side exit, but with the exit set up differently from yours. I would get some fumes sitting still, but never while driving with top on or top off or bikini top.
