The "Deflector, rear bumper gravel (fastens to frame)" part #525672 has two rolled edged cut-out for tailpipes just inboard of the bumper guards and there are exhaust pipe hangers under the car where two tailpipes once hung. I have seen nothing in the Chassis, Body, Shop manuals, or in the Aug 1994 Turning Wheels article listing dual exhaust as an option. Due to the professional nature of the remains I wonder was it an option?

55 was the first year for duals. BTW, the 55 duals were the best (had larger tailpipes) don't know why they shrunk em the next year.Bez Auto Alchemy

Close together Duals
My first Studebaker I bought from the Studebaker Used Car lot at the Dealer Dad worked for, was a '52 Commander 2 dr. Sedan with the same setup, close together duals!
I have seen several that way, there must have been enough '51 Commanders out there for an aftermarket Co. to make a rear stone pan for them and the few '52's sold could also benefit from those. The '55 Olds was like that also, close together pipes.StudeRich
