Default Exhaust with spohn tunnel mount T/a?? True dual probs

I bought a spohn tunnel mount torque arm and my texas speed true duals are not even close to clearing the crossmember. It looks like i may have to go with a single set up through the crossmember. What have you guys done??
Btw this is a heads cam nitrous car with a th350. I'm thinking custom 3" to flowmaster merge then 3" pipe to a single bullet? Opinions?
Thanks -Josh

if you go with a tsp y-pipe, cut off the choke point (2.75") and you'll have a full 3" y into a 3.5 merge....then run a 3.5 borla #40086 or some other 3.5 glasspack muffler dumped before the axle (Summit sells one for $78)....it should be fairly inexpensive, clear everything, sound mean, and flow very well.

i'm interested in the duals.....what mufflers?.....what are you looking to get for them?.....PM me a price to 37153

Also, what's great about that TSP Y is the way it tapers to the 2.75" connection. I cut mine far enough up to put a 3.5" to 3" transition there. I have no doubts you could go single 4". You just have to oval the part being welded to the end of the Y. That's it.

Thank you sir.
I have decided to go with the tsp Y to 3-1/2" pipe to a single bullet for a few reasons. It's cheap, simple, more ground clearance, and won't be as time consuming. I loved my duals but we'll see how this project turns out. I'll post the results when i finish

Did you really think that was going to work? I mean the tunnel mount runs right where the exhaust is for pete's sake

Uhhh no, i didn't think it would work. I bought the crossmember and ta bc i am switching to a th350, knowing good and well the duals probably wouldn't even be able to be reworked. HENCE the thread asking people what they have used. The issue here was what are my exhaust options that WILL work, not why the tsp duals won't work.....
If you don't have any useful information/suggestions that someone would like to hear, go be a jackass somewhere else. Thanks for your negativity --Josh
