Default Exhaust gurus in here please!

im getting tired of my exhaust system and im thinking of changing it ,This is my current set-up: i have ft long tubes 3" true duals with 3" cats, going into an x pipe coming out of the x pipe ive got 2.5" going over the axle into 2 magnapac mufflers. Now would i lose any power if i went with a 3" y pipe to the axle (no cats) and put another y after the axle going into my magnapac mufflers??

Foot long tubes?

As far as loosing power, if you are just bolt-on's don't sweat it. You aren't going to be loosing any power. Atleast not enough to really matter for the money.

I couldnt go from dual 3 to a single 3. I would have to do a 3" y pipe with 4" outlet and run 4" pipe back to your y that you are talking about fter the axle.

I might consider 3.5' in place of the 4" but nothing smaller.

I agree with HavATampa. Why would you want to go from Duals back to a single and a stupid "Y" pipe?

i'm gonna put in some input here that wasn't asked for, but it's more relevant than dumb and dumber quotes so i guess i'm okay:

go H-pipe and single chamber flow's. i'm dying to hear how it sounds with cats since this is the setup i wanna go eventually

it'll sound wayyyyy different plus keep all the power and awesomeness of TD's.

I like having duals but i dont like having no clearence. my exhaust hangs really low and where i live i scrub alot.

can 4" pipe be bent to go up over the axle? is there room? i may be interested in this set-up.
