Seen a couple different approaches for exhaust on V6 & V8 teeners. Gettin ready to fab a Y-pipe for the SHO motor going into the 914. Want to run single exhaust down the right side, muffler in stock position, and single tail pipe out the back-left.

Curious to see different approaches there are for routing exhaust above or below the axles. Post pics!

Here's a picture of the 3.2L SHO motor.

Did you just weld up a bunch of pipes, have them bent, or is it the ass end of an available kit (like an axle back section of a mustang as an example)?
Thanks

I bought stainless mandrel bends from Summit and TIG welded them together. Mufflers are FlowMaster 3 chambered for reduced interior noise.
A note on heat shielding: don't forget to shield the shocks in the event your muffler or pipe is close; no need to heat up the shocks un-necessarily. Can't see it in the photo, but there's a shield between the shock and the muffler.
