side exit exhaust

I like your method, I want the mufflers not under the front seats and I don't want to invest a fortune in the reverse flow mufflers ($250) and the excellent AAR tips ( $275) for a 76 Volare 318 Roadrunner! Not sure where to find affordable of good tips. Looking at feebay, the descriptions are vague. I assume the cheaper tips are sorry chrome plated?, the more expensive one maybe stainless?, ..but I am getting on a path of action!!!!!
Back in the 80s early 90s I restored a few TAs and AARs. The reverse flow mufflers, hangs, tips were repoped even back then. I think Dale's Cuda Shop did the initial repop and stills carries it all.
I have a couple of F bodies, that are Volares that I want to do the side exhaust on, mainly because to do a true dual rear exit exhaust you need to move the gas tank over some, but it put the tail pipes awful close to the tank. That does not seem to cause anyone a problem, BUT......
I asked this on FEBO and got no response. (I admitted to being a drop in off FABO! LOL) Maybe NO ONE on there knows beans about the AAR??? Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone knows a source of inexpensive reverse flow mufflers,?? and for the tips to work they are connected to a curved pipe, making almost a semi circle to the tip. The repop AAR tips are maybe the best solution.
To use a regular muffler, it puts it under your seats! HOT!! no doubt. So the reverse flow puts the muffle back and the tip exits at the front of the rear wheels.

If it was me, I'd go to the smallest, greasiest, sootiest exhaust shop in town, and ask them. FWIW, 'inexpensive' is a relative term.

Hey Barbee, jos51700, I re-did the search thinking that I had just seen the Dynomax mufflers the other day and did come up with a it and a few others at Summit racing. None are cheap as you didn’t want to spend a lot. But.... Here’s what I found @ 2-1/2 pipe size;

From these it’s just two 90* bent pipes and tips. Going via a regular muffler and two U and two 45* or two 90* pipes for the exit might be cheaper by getting a local exhaust shop set of pipes but I still think the mufflers above and two 90* pipes would be easier. Oh! The muffler hangers aren’t going to be cheap if you do the stock type AAR style hangers. But you can be inventive right?

All in all, your call but I’d like to see pictured results when you get there.
