Thanks for the comments guys. As you can see, I was swinging for the homerun.
I had a lesser known exhaust manufacturer contact me wanting to buy my design. They wanted me to drive hundreds of miles so they could pull it and copy it. There were a couple of conversations but they wanted to provide me a royalty with conditions which I rejected. I was only intersted in a flat price and walk away forever and they never got back to me. Started to feel like a screw job.
They even went as far as posting poorly photoshopped pics of my setup on their website to generate interest. It appears that they have now removed them but that was really lame.

Yeah, I used the UMI bar. I like Ryan over there, those cats are top notch! All the stuff I had to but to make room was another reason this cost me a small fortune. I bet I've got close to a grand in it doin all the work myself. My dad wants to do the same on his car but in 2.5". I'm like sure, it's gotta be easier than makin the 3" stuff fit + I've done it now. The bullets have a lil more rasp than what I'd normally like but heck man most mufflers have some rasp, whatcha gonna do? I'm happy overall. I'm gonna finish it off with a nice set of Dynomax 4" polished tips when I get the cash.
Good deal.
I can easily see how trying to do 3" pipes and the dual in/out muffler would be nearly impossible. That extra 1/2" diameter takes up much more space where the bends need to be. As you can see in my pics, I barely had room for the 2.5" pipes. In fact that one real tight radius pipe I have exiting the mufler and going to the right tip cost me nearly $90 IIRC. TOTL would have been easier and cheaper plus it would have flowed a tad better but was Hell bent on dual tips.
Did you use the pan hard bar relocator to open up room for the dual 3" pipes over the axle? I cant see how you did it any other way cause its tight up in that pinch. Post some pics.

Lesser known huh? The company name wouldn't have started with a P would it, lol? Anyway, it's still kinda gay that they acted that way & posting picks on their site was kinda jumpin the gun in my opinion!

Is it a restriction by using 2 x-pipes? Theseus a shop that does awesome work and when I went there they had done pretty much what you have but aluminized on an ss. It cost 700 there installed with all parts but before I do it I need to know if running 2 x-pipes will cause a restriction? It sounds bad *** though and as long as it flows better than my GMMG I'm going for itnext week.
