Default Under axle pipes

I am almost positive that I am going to get a true dual setup with a custom y pipe, that goes into two 1 chamber flowmasters, and under the axle. Before the pipes go under teh rear, they will have a flange there so that the pipes can be removed. Will the car be able to be put on a lift without taking th epipes off? This is the only problem that I see with this setup.
Thnaks for the help in advance.

I'd advise going dual straight pipes off the collectors instead of goin through a y-pipe

Yes, you would need to remove the tails if you put it on a 2-post style lift. You can stick a jack under the differential, and yank them off in 5 minutes before you drive it onto the lift though.

How often do you plan on putting it on a lift?

You can make them to fit where they'll clear with it up on a 2-post, but you'll have to do some measurements to see how low the rearend hangs down once it is on a lift. The easiest way would be to have it on a 2-post when running the pipes out the back, or put it on one and take your measurements before going to the muffler shop.
