yep, had it done about 2 months ago i guess. we cut the ball flanges off the headers and ran 3in pipe to the axle then dumped it. we also put a small h-pipe in and 2 12in bullet mufflers. it is extremely loud. it rattles my whole car. let me know if you have anymore questions.

Don't mean to steal your thread, but is there anyway to run duals over the axel?

I want duals but with the bumper cutouts, it would not look right without pipes sticking out.

I have Macs w/ 3" true duals over the axle. I have Bullets mounted just behind the wheels, exiting out turndowns. I have some clips, my car is about halfway down the page, It's the white Formula WS6. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> www.leblancfamily.com/rick5/Vidpage.htm

Do you have any pics or notes of how you got the 3" True Duals over the axle? <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

I know you can run them both over the passenger side but you have to take the panhard bar brace off.

I run MACs with a 2.5" x-pipe system into bullets and turndowns before the axle. No sound clips though. Have to say its very smooth and tame while idling and cruising. At WOT it screams. No rasp what-so-ever either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I'll be switching to either Grots or Dynatech long tubes and 3" x-pipe system soon. I can't wait for that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
