I think I mis-read what you ment by between the frame and leaf.. I'm not actually running it thru the leaf spring, I'm going to run it to the right side of the leaf spring hanger, right where the frame angles downward, in that little pocket before the frame becomes flat again.
Heres a pretty picture. } = leaf spring bracket, O = Exhaust, \___ = angle of frame.

I know its hard to route it out, i even thought about re-enforcing the frame and taking a 3 inch hole saw to it to route mine out THRU the frame...
My pipe routes out right at the leaf spring perch, there is a little round area in the perch itself and on my screw, it ends up being perfectly aligned with how my pipe was bent and where my bedside is. Ill post a pic in a bit.
I think what you have in mind is probably the best way of achieving it. Heres a tip though, Paint all your tubes and angle work in a high heat satin black and clean up your frame and touch that up where needed. It will help to hide it.
Good luck and im anxious to see your result!
