I have 2.5 duals ran all the way back, under the rearend, and I have the Pro kit on my car. The clearence is actualy better than my 2.5 inch Mac O.R Y pipe. No problems here

2.5 might be fine on a lowered car but 3 inch your going to be pushing your luck, you will be creepin on every driveway in town

I dont know, I have no problems with mine other than Obvious road hazards, It realy is better that the Mac Y pipe, I wouldn't hesatate to put a 3in system on now that I know what a 2.5 is like. Realy It isnt bad at all, and if there was some issues with it, i would live with them for the sound and the performance gains.

by the way, JeffreyG, you dont have any pics of those side exiting pipes do you? I would love to see other set ups. I have only seen Onixx's car, and i like it, but that car is freaking bad anyways.

I have an X w/ bullets dumped right before the axle. Lets just say I can't have more than 1 passenger in my car anymore. I think it depends on how good your exhaust guy is and how well he tucks it up. As long as Im careful, its fine. Do it, the sound is worth it.

Lowering with 3inch duals is not a great idea. At max, I would lower it only 1 inch. This goes for anyone with a 3in. y pipe as well. Clearance under the driver's seat is where the problem is. The factory smashed a pipe to 1.5 inchs and you try to put a 3 inch pipe there.
