Seen a couple different approaches for exhaust on V6 & V8 teeners. Gettin ready to fab a Y-pipe for the SHO motor going into the 914. Want to run single exhaust down the right side, muffler in stock position, and single tail pipe out the back-left.
Curious to see different approaches there are for routing exhaust above or below the axles. Post pics! Here's a picture of the 3.2L SHO motor.  TIA |

Here's the mockup pics for the down pipes from the two headers that will merge into a single 2.5" exhaust. Fortunately it merges on the right side, away from the shift bar. PVC is 2in ID - same as mandrels.
Left side. Piece of 1.5" square steel represents the engine bar. Don't want to weld it until I test fit in the engine bay.  Front. Could have come straight down with the right pipe, but need an extra inch of clearance when its on the engine cradle during testing.  Right - well already see something I'll need to fix. Mockup's doing its job.  |

Good idea using PVC pipe. Also great choice merging into a single pipe, as it is one of the easiest ways to have NO drone.

matt, can you elaborate on the "drone"?

Drone is when your exhaust creates a harmonic vibration often changing depending on RPM and engine load. Conversions with "true dual" exhaust routing seem to suffer from an aggressive version of this problem.
Ever ride in a hotrod with no carpet, and 2chamber flow masters that dump at the rear axle? Drives you crazy on a longer drives. |

Wouldn't a cross-over tube help eliminate that?
From following the SHO sites, it seems they can suffer from raspy exhaust if a resonator (or glass pak) is not fitted. Not sure I'm gonna have room for one. |

Sure, but the crossover needs to be close to the manifold/header to be effective. Crossing under the oil pan is your best bet like you are planning. I wouldn't think the raspy SHO problem will crossover to the short length 914. There is however probably enough room to run your resonator & muffler if creative. |
