that rear mounted pipe will not work with a rear exhaust engine, nor can you upgrade your rear shock tower to a graphite one. you will have to get a new exhaust for a rear exhaust engine

Josh, you seem to know on most all things 18SS, where can I get a rear exhaust set up like that? Most of the ones I find say they are for .12 - .15 but not listed for the .18???

Would this work If I made a bracket to hold it on the rear?

there are 2 styles of pipes. ones for small blocks and one for big blocks. The 18ss is a small block so those pipes at say .12-.15 will work perfectly. It wasn't untill recently that .15 was the biggest small block you could get but now the .18 is the thing to get
