Questions for those that built their own duals
Here's my plan. I want to put together a set of duals and come all the way out the back with bullet mufflers. It's just in the planning stage right now. I want to v band it in a couple places to make the system easily removable.
What I'd like to know
1: I want to use an x pipe. I'd like to place it where my tq arm mount drops down for the exhaust. I have a chassis mounted tq arm. Does the placement of the x pipe effect the performance of the exhaust? Should it be more centered under the car? Farther forward?
2: I'm on the fence about a 2.5" or 3" setup. Typically can the 3" clear over the axle with a pan hard relocation kit?
3: how much Clarence did you need between the body and exhaust to prevent rattling off the floor. I'm just going to put hangers wherever it seems to need them but I'd like to tuck it as tight as possible. Ground clearance isn't much of an issue.

I'd personally put the x between the body and the body mount if possible. It will be tight with 2.5 but it will work. I chose 2.5 for clearance sake and it WAS perfect til it got moved during the welding.
