Before you pour on the hate, I love the side pipes too.
But I would like to look at options, I'm starting my build hopefully with my delivery date of January.
Im looking at using the Blueprint 347.(302 bored out).
I have seen some really clean looking cars with the pipes out the back instead of the side pipes.
Most list the Windsor small blocks for a powerplant.
Does anyone have their exhaust routed in this way and if so can you share some picks and explain how you went about this routing method?

Thanks in advance,

Quite a few folks have done under-car exhaust which gets tricky if you want the pipe to exit at the rear.

Most folks just tuck the mufflers under the car and go out the side, but it can be done and done well.

Why do you assume anyone would pour on the hate? This isn't that kind of site and there are multiple examples of undercar exhaust. Including some originals. Some fabrication is necessary and it will cut into your ground clearance. But it definitely can be done.
