What is a good way to run the exhaust ? The cars a camaro .My headers are schoenfeld 195 ,1 5/8 tubes , 3" collector . Trying to keep torque and keep it simple . Rules state the exhaust must exit out the side .

Out the back as duals in stainless if you can with a cross tube to balance it -- Tips help but at a angle cut and not 90s!!! My 69 Camera 350 turned 8,000 and was downsized as to the rear with only 1.5 tail pipes with velocity in mind! It had Muncie 3 speed and 307 gears-- ran 115 mph in second gear and 103 in the 1/4 mile at a slow start 14.35 time! 18.5 mpg--- You have to use common sense in all you do-- mine is just a bit un- common to most! Less to push in volume at same speed if mot gaining as it moves easier--- Most never consider the simplicity of it all! Less time to cool or condense and be heavier and harder to move! IT RAN THAT WAY 13 YEARS BEFORE BLOWING --- A BAD ON MY PART!!!

I should have mentioned the car is dirt oval race car ! I checked the rules again and they don't say anything about having to run the pipes out the side , but getting gas fumes away from the driver is important ! thank for the help !

We have to run mufflers inside our headers and do use turndowns but I modify them to ease flow and cause the exit to spin! A heat shield at the floorboard top and bottom helps the driver's feet to stay cool!

Thanks for your info . Does the muffler in the header help with torque or hurt performance in anyway ? Our track dosn't require mufflers but some cars sound like they may be using them .

If racing multi tracks it is best to have them as rules per track! Torque--- yes if tuned that way!!!

Paint the tubes white past the collector, where it stops burning the paint off, cut the tubes there.
