all with true duals, i need some advice..

ok, ive already got true duals run on my car, but the shop has had a big problem with keepin it from rattling (and leaking for that matter because the slack lets it hit so hard over some bumps goin down the road that it breaks the connections between the two pipes that they used to brace them together) but anyways theyre gonna re-do the rear over the axle portion friday, any one got helpful pics/advice?? i saw a few spots they could improve when i looked under the car, but nothing extremely helpful. what im raelly wandering is, is it possible to have dual 2.5" over the axle on the SAME SIDE without them hitting on the panhard? and if not what other way is there?? (mine hit on the axle too but that i saw there was enough room above the one pipe to fix with a steeper bend this time)

3" duals over the axle, done by myself, with no prior exhaust work experiance.

I made a drop braket to move the panhard bar and panhard bar brace down. I modled it after the BMR piece that sells for $220.

There are pictures throughout the post, not just on the first page.

this is all ive got, the brace was lengthened and not mounts where the panhard bar used to and the panhard bar was moved down and in so I could keep the stock length.

Re: all with true duals, i need some advice..

My setup is 2.5" w/o modification to the panhard rod bracket. It works
fine, with no rattles. The BMR piece will definately provide more room.
If you are less than 400 rwhp the 3" duals are a waste of space, time
and weight. No disrespect of RacingTiger04's system, because it's very
nice, in fact beautiful, just not necessary for my whimpy setup, or any
other 300-400 rwhp car.
