Default Just ordered my headers, now I need exhaust help....

I placed my order for Jet-Hot coated Hookers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> . Now I need to get up the rest of my exhaust setup. I am going true duals with an x-pipe, going back over the axle. I am getting RT 3" cats, and 3" pipes. Is there anyplace that I can get 3" oval tubing for ground clearance? How much would I be giving up if I went with 2.5" mandrel bent pipes? What mufflers will be the quietest and still tuck up? The car is lowered with G2 springs, but I'm hoping my revlaved Bilsteins will be stiff enough to keep the car from bouncing much. I will call Dr Gas and order an x-pipe kit, but I need to know about the mufflers, and about what type of tubing to get to go back over the axle. Thanks in advance.

I can't answer all of your questions but I do know that Spintech Mufflers @ www.spintechmufflers.com has oval tubing from 2.5" to 5". They also carry Dr. Gas x pipes. You may be interested in their mufflers. They have some for low clearance and I know I like my Spintech that I have. It flows BETTER than Flomasters but not as loud. It is more like a Flo-Pro in volume. Loud is not always the best. They have pretty good customer service, I have even talked to their enginers on the phone. If you get it all done I would love to see some pics and hear some sound bites.
