Ok narrowed my perches and got the 8 3/4 housing up in place. Wondering if anyone has got their tailpipes thru to the back without going to a fuel cell and loosong the tank. Any pictures would be great. Thanks
Tail pipe clearance.

Above my pay grade.
I don't see why rear end narrowing would effect tailpipe clearance.
Most tail pipes I've seen go over the axle. After narrowing tue perches the space between the axles and tank are extremely tight. Most go out the side before the tire . I don't want to and if someone has pulled this off I'd like to see it.

I have my springs moved in and have my tail pipes going over the axel still. I just modified the TTI exhaust to make it clear the tank. The driver side isn't to bad of a fit but still needs some mods.
Hmmm.
Is it touching the gas tank? I just don't see the room in there. Can you take an underneath picture. Man that would be awesome.

Yes as soon as I get in I'll get some more pics. I have it up on stands so I can get some good pics of both sides for you. Should be about 2 hours.

Are your spring perches moved in 5/8" or moved to under the frame rails?

They are moved under the frame rails. I tried to move the springs over with the Mopar kit but It didn't give the clearance I wanted to run 275 rear tire in the stock wheel well. The kit actually only moved the front section of the spring over not quit 1/2 an inch.

OK. Unfortunately I have no photos of the tailpipes we put on my buddies car with the springs moved to the rails. We put them over the axle and outward to just under the edge of the fenderwell with a modified 180 degree bend and then back. He has traded the car fo a Duster so I can't get photos.
My car has the so called 3/4" (actually 1/2") offset with 3" tailpipes so I thought if that's what you had I'd send photos.

Here are the pics. The exhaust is 2.5 pipe
Super nice work! Thank you for taking the time to send the pictures. Looks like I will be going the same route.

Pain in the *** to build, but it looks real good and well worth the effort!

What I have seen with moved springs is the exhaust going over the rear, then out behind the rear wheels, between the frame and leaf springs.
