Default Anyone done Dual exhaust like this?

Im thinking of doing my own duals like this....but it'll be a pain in the *** to drop the rear if i need to...

what about clearance issues??

looks like most of those systems, if you had to drop the rear all you would have to do is cut the pipes in front of the axle and then just have them expanded(at a muffler shop) for like an inch or so and clamp them back on

dont know about clearance issues as i dont have duals

That would work....

I just dont want the duals like TSP has cuz that would make it loud as **** INSIDE the car.

As said above all those systems look easy as far as removal but I would personally go for an other idea and add flanges in front of the axle so I wouldnt have to cut the pipes.Couple bolts and nuts and the whole back side would come down out of the way.

Mine was just like that, except I had it flanged at the headers. Unbolted and came off the car in literally 5 minutes. WAY faster than a Y pipe combo. It had no clearance issues, even with moroso bullet mufflers right before the axle, never hit once. Best exhaust I've had by far. On a side note, can anyone identify the hood on that T/A?

I've had duals ran like that before, clearance was fine. Like staed, add flanges before the axle, that's what I did. clearance was no worse than it is with a Y-pipe on my car, that's why I'm going back to duals.

I'm not a fan of routing the exhaust under the axle...it just looks weird to me.

The first red T/A in the listing has the SLP H.O. hood.

that hood had bed fitment... but i'd go over the axle to keep from clearance issues. it might work stock normally but if you want to lower or have someone in the backseats you could run into problems. just my .02

The guy can afford a custom dual exhaust and an ugly fake hood but wont fix his tranny leak?!

I really dont care for the under the axle systems but they are usually cheaper than over the axle.
