Decided to go over the axle
I know the DS is a little off. I have to readjust. Alright for now.

I've got 3" under but I run a flat oval pipe under the axle for another 1-1.5" of clearance (with the axle). I still wouldn't try to jack it up and let the rear end hang...I've got disconnects right in front of the axle and it takes like 3 minutes to undo it. I've got a 4 post drive-on lift, so it's not a problem for me.

Not that far back...a lot of people reduce to 2.5" after the x-pipe. This actually has about the same area as the 3" pipe (it is wider than 3" but thinner). And it gradually reduces it into an oval and back into a round pipe. They are made as frame clearance tubes, but I'm using them to clear the axle. I don't know if they were really worth it (might give me 1-2" extra between the axle and pipes) but they definitely aren't hurting anything.

I don't have duals right now, and I'm still debating whether or not I want to spend the money to do it. I have lots of other things to do before exhaust again (fueling, nitrous/FI, motor) :doh:

How is 3'' under really the only way.
I have 3'' over the axle and i couldnt be happier. I have the bmr panhard relocation kit and im lowered a good inch on the rear with plenty of room to go 2'' or more. Now if my 315 would fit without rubbing with a 2'' drop is another story. I just think it doesnt look as clean going under the axle.
Glad to see you made the right choice
