Default Guys with true duals in hre PLEASE!!!

Im realy thinking of running true duals and dumping before the axle. People that have them dump before are you getting exhust smell in the car at stops or at slow cuising. Im asking becouse my exhust cut out is right before the axle and it smells so bad i get a head ache. I dont think its pos. to run 3" or bigger over axles is it? Thanks Ryan

Once the car is moving I don't smell it anymore. I'm usually driving 100+mph so I don't worry much. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

No smell at all! My dumps are angled out behind the back tire.

You will smell like gas when you get out if drive in traffic. Go to www.laneswheels.com and contact them about doing true duals over the axle, this is the best way to go.
