Alright fellas I have a question for you guys. I went under my truck today to take some measurments for my new exhaust. Then it hit me, that it would look pretty awesome if I brought the pipe out just before the rear tires(one on each side). But if I want to do this and still use the xpipe (connecting on the right side of the crankshaft) setup that means that at some point the exhaust have to cross under the crankshaft. Wouldnt it be easier to go straight back from the catalyst, run it along the side of the truck, and then a 90 degree bend just before the tires. To run the exhaust like this on the right side(from behind) wont be a problem, but i didnt really check if the was any room for it on the left.
And if I were to do this, what are the pros and cons of running from each cat straight back vs using the xpipe?

take care guys!

You may get your answer here, but the exhuast gurus may see your question quicker if you start a new thread in the Exhaust forum.

why do people even waste time posting in this thread if they're just gonna bash his ideas. typical..

i think the exhaust looks good but you should move it back a little so it's under your bed and not right by your steps like that.
