Here is a video of my side exhaust with my '59 bn4. This is a 350 fuel injected aluminum corvette motor. The mufflers are spintech.

I’d lost the precise blueprint that I drew up for the stainless exhaust man and didn’t have any useful pics. Well, the system is on the workshop floor now and I’ve taken a few pics and got the tape measure out. Hard to be precise with curves, but you’ll get the idea.
