Exhaust coming from under gas tank?!?

I saw a Black Mach1 today and the exhaust was running from under the tank kind of splitting right before the tank (I think similar to the cobra) I k ow the Mach exhaust makes more a straight path... Any ideas?!?

It was probably a Mach 1 with an IRS swap.

Re: Exhaust coming from under gas tank?!?

I will take stab at it and say IRS swap.


IMHO that exhaust setup looks so much better than ours.

Re: Exhaust coming from under gas tank?!?

That was the only reasonable thing I could think of as well...what would be the point of doing an IRS swap??? And what are the advantages/disadvantages to it?

Better for corner carving, not as good for drag racing unless you throw alot of money at it (research IRS red pill). It provides for a smoother ride especially over bumps than a live axle.
