Default Under The Axle

Has anyone gone this route? I have seen a few threads about people doing this...full 3" exhaust with 2 18" dynomax bullits ending right before the axle like a dump would but instead you run 3" pipes from there under the axle and out the back? My Question is will the exhaust hit the rearend when i go ever bumps? ext ext....................

Several people have ran them under the axle...I plan on doing this in a few weeks. You can see some that people have done under the True duals sticky at the top of the page.

See stickies at the top of this forum.

Short answer is, yes, there is a possibility of scraping. Depends on the size of the bump. If you're referring to speed bumps, the exhaust will raise when the rear tires drive up the speed bump, so you shouldn't scrape

No, at the moment I just have the TSP true duals dumped at the axle. I've been searching for the best way to run them the rest of the way out the back, under the axle, and I came across that picture a while back. Looked good, but not sure if the 90 degree bends are that great for flow.
