D. It looks unique
E. It is cheaper
I simply unbolt right behind the mufflers and right before the tips and the rear end can drop. I can run dumped if I choose, and it was much less expensive than trying to go over the axle. I know it is doable, but I love the way mine looks under the axle.

What size piping is that and how much was it to get it fabbed up? That setup looks great. How's the ground clearance??

he likes money, you tell him what you want and he does it.
exhuast guys think they know everything, and run it the fastest way possible so they can make a buck and move on to the next one.
ive seen worse, so his aint that bad. if you keep it the way it is, paint it all flat black and it wont be such an eyesore.

the ground clearance isnt nearly as bad as it looks in this picture
A friend owns his own shop and charged me 500 for the header install and bending all the pipes. Let me know if you think i got raped
but compared to what he has charged me before i think i did alright.

yeah he had to weld and buy pipes. i had the jegs universal mandrel bent kit but couldnt use it because the th400 crossmember hangs to low and the xpipe landed right under it and i would have only had about 1-2 inches clearance with 0 weight. im 205lbs. and it would have been scraping everywhere, so he had to bend the whole system. ive read most shops charge about 200 for header install so 300 parts and labor for the exhaust doesnt seem TOTALLY ridiculous. a little but i can live with it. the tips will get fixed before i pay him.

i figured they would need to be somewhat out so fumes didnt do any sort of damage to the paint of fiberglass bumper. no?
i dump my exahust underneath my car by the axle. no fumes little black underneath from runnin rich sometimes but it does not hurt anything the fiber glass will hold up
Z28convert - If you're happy with and it doesn't leak, then just enjoy. I would definitely have the tips adjusted so they don't stick out so much. I do like the idea of the cross pipe though. But for God's sake wash your car and lower the damn thing. 
$500 isn't that bad for the header install and the duals.
