Default attn LTs and TDs all the way back... come inside

hey everyone, i was wondering if it would be possible to get a set of lts, with an x pipe, preferably 3 ", and run all the way to the back of the car, over or under. if the shop is good then they will be able to give me the clearance i need, either way. my question is would this be able to all be done for 1000 dollars?

my car is a completely stock 99 ss. not lowered, but has anybody run into that big of problems? how much labor would a shop usually charge to run an x pipe all the way to the back? has anyone done this and been able to use subframe connectors and other various suspension modifications?

have you read in the stickys i rember reading something about someone doing 3" and going all the way to the back. but if your going to get a good set of lts they will cost you around $300 or more and the sshop that is doing my X dumped is charging $700 and thats stainless, high flows, and morso spyral. take it how you want but dont give in to the shop saying what they want.

if you are going all the way back go 2.5" Dont think you can get 3" all the way back(atleast not over the axle). 2.5" should no doubt be just fine for your application.

i most likely will do the 3 inch. i know it would be cheaper to go 3 inch all the way to the back under the axle, but how is the ground clearance with that?

just try a 2.5 inch xpipe all the way back. That would be nice. And unless your making a ton of power you wont notice the difference in 2.5 to 3 inch.

and if you lower your car at all you will get clearance problems. I got sportlines and i scrape everything. But i do need new struts
