I have never seen anyone run them like that. Looks great. I do have one comment or suggestion. Did you think about using 1 dual in/dual out muffler with a built in X pipe in it, instead of using the H-pipe and 2 mufflers? Just a thought.

I really had my mind set on an H-pipe/sweet thunder muffler route, never really considered anything else. I have an idea of what your talking about with a 1 dual in/out muffler, but can you post a pic so I can vizualize better. I wud have considered other options only if ground clearance was an issue, but it wasn't.

insted of the chisel and denting the panhard rod, get a panhard rod relocation kit. it will move it down out of the way of the exhaust. this is what most ppl that run TD's over both sides of the axle have to do.

Yup DEF happy with it, its suprisingly tame at cruise when I want it to be but then opens up NICELY at WOT. Here is a clearance pic at its lowest point, too bad im gona lower the front an inch soon.

yeah man.. theyre perfect, you cant do anything about that because thats all the header that puts them down that far and any higher it would bang the floor board..

After looking under the car a little harder, I don't think the over axel pipe is in any danger of nailing the panhard bar. The pipes are welded to the stock exhaust hangers and everything moves up and down in unison with the rest of the body of the car, including the panhard bar. And if I hit a bump large enough for the pipes to smash the rear end im gona have bigger problems then just a dented exhaust. Ill monitor the situation for any problems.
