looks like a really nice setup, wonder if that'll work on a thirdgen as well. any issues with the panhard bar contacting the drivers side at all?

Re: Pics of my 3" True Duals OVER THE AXLE ON BOTH SIDES
my magnaflow 4x9" straight thru mufflers (same as Grips i think) made a HUGE difference in sound.
with the straight pipes it was absolutely ear-bleeding loud, particularly on the highway and full throttle.
the mufflers actually toned it down TOO much for what i was wanting. but it allows me to really use the throttle alot more around town.
and mine are still dumped at the axle.
in that last pic on the lift...of the duals side by side....i see it's got the upper panhard bar kit, does it also have a panhard relocation bracket? kindda looks like it, although i am not sure what the brackets for the upper phb are like.
edit...
never mind...just looked up the upper phb on BMRs site....thats jsut part of the kit

it's been a whild since i had the catback muffler on...but i'd say only slightly louder than my old magnaflow catback.
it really is quiet and refined
idle it is louder just due to the lope of the cam...but cruising it's nice and smooth

Looks great, very clean. I ran both mine over the passengerside. Not many people manage to get 3" TDs out the back. Yours is a much cleaner install than mine. I had to clearance my trunk pan to fit Aerochamber mufflers.
Do you worrry about taking that much meat out of the panhard brace? Taking those bent edges out removed a lot of stregth.

Re: Pics of my 3" True Duals OVER THE AXLE ON BOTH SIDES
finally uploaded the vids to someplace accessable....lets see if it links
straight pipes
magnaflows
both were taken minutes apart, from identical camera location.
to give you and idea of how quiet the mufflers are, listen closely...you can hear my footsteps and the "ding ding" of the ignition alarm with the door open.
now from the looks of it, these are the same mufflers as Grip. on a cammed LS1 (400rwhp) where his is a stroked LT1.
but it gives you an idea of how much the mufflers toned the car down
