I have my duals ran under the axel and it is 2.5 inch. I have never had dumps, so im not sure if any power is lost, but the interior noise it not bad at all. There is not hardly any vibration either. Here's a exhaust clip of mine, this is with dynomax bullets. Hope this helps. View My Video

I had my TSP duals run out the back about a week ago. The vibration and sound is SOOOOO much better now.

I went 3" under the axle and do not have any clearance issues. I thought about going 2.5" under the axle, but my exhaust guy said it wouldn't make a noticeable difference in clearance. There's thread about it in the stickies. Print out some pictures and bring them to a good shop...

well the reason i ask is the guy i usually use says that something is wrong with his bender and the 3" has been crushing when trying to bend it, another guy i tried said 100 dollars a side, so just seeing if there would really be a difference with 2.5" pipe? but the like i said the vibration is stupid though.

The 2.5" is fine, unless you plan on making some big horse power, then it will limit you a little.
