Good luck getting that exhaust to fit. Good bye ground clearance.

Joe is right, you won't be getting that true dual system to work.

These cars aren't designed for true duals. If you want some tips read this thread

How do you plan on going over the axle? Assuming you are.

I never said you can't run true duals. Im saying the way the op wants to run them is going to have **** ground clearance. IMO...

Do yourself a favor and return all that for a universal x pipe kit,unless you have a floor mounted torque arm? Then if you want duals it will all have to go on the right with a magnaflow straight x

Good luck with the install. You are probably going to have to buy some angles to get around everything. I am running the Summit X pipe kit and magnaflow mufflers and didnt lose any ground clearence coming from an Ebay Y pipe. I did lose some clearence where my mufflers are but that was expected. I can take speed bumps fine at an angle but sometimes my clamps scrape. Im getting it all welded together soon and they should be able to get me another inch or two of clearence.

I went with the universal x-pipe kit and had it custom fit to my car. Very good ground clearance. Took quite of bit of custom work though. Only thing really used was the X piece

Ignore this, coming from a guy who has a catback system. The h-pipe system you bought isn't going to work without some serious work. Not to mention an h-pipe is inferior to the x-pipe. The advice given several posts up about the x-pipe is a better alternative which still requires some custom fabbing.

While you are correct in saying an H-Pipe setup IS "inferior" to an X-Pipe setup everything I can find says the inferiority is negligible I guess unless you're taking it to the track and trying to get that couple 10ths of a second.... I could be wrong... but for what I spent I think my price/performance ratio is pretty good....
I know I'll probably need a few more things bends etc...

I'm just trying to be realistic. If you were looking for a no-frills bolt-on no-welding system then what you bought just isn't going to work.

Thats awesome, you can save some real money buying house brands from summit and jegs. I've been told from both companies that all their branded products are form a vendor they sell.

Check amazon when you order though, I've saved tons this way

We are trying to tell you what fits and works. There is really not a while lot of room to work with,I guess you will just have to find out for yourself. An x pipe kit is like $70,and you could get a pair of decent flowing and sounding mufflers for under $200 and the reducers and turn downs for another $60. How much was that universal dual system? Those kits work well on trucks,not cars. It looks like you want a side exit before the tire? You will need oval pipe for that,do some research.
