I don’t really care for straight exits below the bumper unless they are built into the valiance somehow. Ideas?

Was sort of rare to see a 1961 or 1962 Ford Falcon with a 260 V-8 engine at the time. Hot Rod had a special on how to install a 312 engine into a 1960 Falcon, as that was only thing available at the time for general folks. Routig the exhaust ahead of the rear wheels would have been a trick that Hot Rod would have given to some favorite shop of theirs.
