Honestly I doubt it will make a difference unless you start getting into high horsepower levels (~500+). I am actually going down from 3" tsp duals to a custom bent 2.5" system. If you go custom, both can be tucked pretty high but the bigger the pipe the less ground clearance you will have. Good luck

Nope running them dumped shouldn't do either of those. A lot of people run dumped x's w/ no problem.
