Default Help me out with different exhaust set-ups

I picked up a set of LTs and didnt buy the y-pipe. My idea was to run pipe from the header straight back with a bullet muffler then dumped before the axle. So theres only gonna be like 3ft of exhaust pipe for each side. But now that i think of it, theres gonna be slim to no back pressure. Then use my current set up but with LTs. Which is use the ORY with a bullet muffler welded to that then dumped. OR do i go straight back to a X pipe then to some bullets then dumped (which is what i see a lot of people running). Hummmmmmm........

it has a "smashed" part that clears the fuel line and part of the frame genius. Must be nice to be so smart.

Yea, that is the part that rattles against the floor in low RPM's. Many people bitch about it on here, I am messing with something to get it to go away, I haven't got around to it yet..

Well when you type something like this "yep my pacesetter ORY is for the fuel lines" making it sound like your exhaust is used for fuel line it gets a little confusing. Learn how to make a complete sentance ********.
