Use to run 3" trueduals xpipe system. But after installing a Spohn tunnel mount T/A, which was more of a priority to me, I ended up with this: JetHot longtubes---6 to8 inch of 3"piping----3" Dynomax bullets dumped. It's still a 3" true duals without the crossover pipes(x/h pipe). But then again, it's not DD anymore. And it sounds just as loud.

Tunnel mount where it mounts to the body?
I went H-pipe with bullets, I also have slp subframe connectors.

About a minute in you can see what I had to do for exhaust on the budget I was on:Yeah they scrape.

Ill sell you my setup thats made for pacesetters! Its setup with v-bands on the headers too so no leaks. I posted up the pic on LTxtech. Im keeping the mufflers, and going with a 4" single aluminum setup. I could just cut it in half at the x so its easy to weld together, and it actually doesnt make any noise its just the tq arm is loud as hell. I have moved it around enough that it doesnt hit anymore. LMK if your interested

i dont see how an h pipe would fit better. I had the umi crossmember made for lontubes and duals but switched to a bmr crossmember. As long as you make the crossover with the x pipe right where it passes the crossmember you should have no probems making duals fit

Mine's all custom, but the X pipe goes through the dip in the Spohn mount...Its pretty badass...Here's a link to an old thread with some pix of my set up...Currently they exit the sides behind the doors, no longer dumped...

Got any pictures of the side exits? Damn I had posted in your thread too, someone else on here recently did a X where you did and also has SLPs and the spohn torque arm.

Someday when I have some spare funds I want to do it the way you did it, but for $250 I can't complain with what I ended up with.

Ill try to get some pix...The pipes are back cut under the car a couple of inches so the pipes dont stick out....I may add powder coated black tips but I'm just not sure yet...And yeah $250 aint bad...I've got quite a bit more in mine...
