Question What Should I have done?

I just got Pacesetter LT's and TSP X pipe installed the other day. I have it dumped right now but i want to go out the back cause of the noise and fumes. How should i have them go out the back cause i have the 3 inche pipes?

If you need to reduce the size to 2.5 in, Flowmaster makes a nice reducer. It's about 9 in long and has a very gradual taper to it. http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...h.asp&N=400238 At the top, type in FLO-R3025 for the part number.

If you stay with 3" you will have to go under the axel.

I went up to meineke and they said they can bend 3" and go over the axle and just add pipe to go out the back. The only reason why im goin out the back is cause fumes are getting in my car pretty badly and thats just bad news lol.

You need to put a jack under the dumps and jack them up as high as possible, beating on whatever you need to to get them riding right.

Check out the link in my sig for pics and a writeup. I got my duals sitting purty, then had them run out the back w/ 3" pipe under the axle. Absolutly no problems.
