2.5" TD system needs new upper panhard? I am trying to get a couple of shops to fab up a 2.5" TD system out the back over the axle but two shops have told me I need the relocation kit for the upper panhard bar. Is this true, I thought only a 3" system would need this.
Getting pretty frustrated, is there someplace I can order some pipe thats already bent that I can weld into place myself?

How much is the shop charging you for the custom exhaust with installation?? For the price it may be worth it to just get a pre-made truel dual system, like the Bassani header back true dual system. It comes with an X-pipe and everything from the headers back. I also don't think you need to remove the panhard bar with the Bassani system.

I have a 2.5 dual sytem over the axle on the passenger side and out the back with no interference with the upper panhard rod at all. I think the key is is to have both pipes over the passenger side of the axle. If the shop knows what they are doing it can be done.

Plus you'd only be saving a few pounds at best.

It seems like I should be able to fit a 2.5" pipe through there without taking out the upper panhard rod , I think I am just going to the wrong shops. But there isnt much to choose from in San Luis Obispo, CA. I wish I could get the pipes from somewhere that are already bent and then rent a welder since I have no way to bend the pipes myself.
