TD Under vs Over I have been looking into this subject for awhile now, and I have seen both done and done well. However I am wondering what the advantages/disadvantages are or going under or over. I really haven’t heard in reason to choose one over the other. I was just wondering why you choose to go the way you did, or which way you would go and why.

Go under, just have the shop use 3bolt flanges for a quick unbolt on the pipes running from the before the axles out if you ever need to lower the differential. This way you can have the 3" pipe all the way out back, and it resembles the c4 corvette aftermarket systems/irs cobra systems. Looks fantastic/intimidating that way!
When i have put my Mecham exhaust tips on next week, i will post up pics.

That will look pretty sick on his car. Man I miss my 315 GS-D3's...Mean as Hell lookin'. Not to mention how great they performed!
IMHO, that under the axle setup doesnt look too good to me. It does remind me of a cobra. but I drive a F-body. I like the style of over the axle. I like seeing tips and nothing else
I run under the axle, and have TONS of clearance. I'll get pictures in a couple weeks when I go home from college, but it is a good 2 inches higher than the lowest point, which is right after the headers as the duals clear the frame. It is cheaper, and you can keep the panhard brace, which I wouldn't remove if I was you....I've heard bad things. But anyway, I'm real happy with my setup, you can't really see that they go under the axle unless you are at ground level anyway...but I like the look of it. To each his own.
