Can I fit dual 3" pipes over the axle?

I want to run them both on the passenger's side over the axle. Has this been done?

I think it would be easier to relocate the panhard rod mount and run the one over the drivers. A lot less exhaust bends that way

I heard it could be done the pipes might have to be dented with the BMR relocation thing. Which I heard was a pos by Strano. I have 2.5's over right now w/ all the stock stuff and they had to be dented a little on the bottom.

Theres a pic in my sig that shows the BMR kit with 2.5s both over the pass side. Doesnt look like theres much room left.

Would it hurt anything if I went from 3" to 2.5" just for the over-the-axle route, then came back out to 3"? I really don't want to run a pipe near my fuel lines.

I have 3" duals ran over my axle with no modifications or problems. Did I pay extra for the job? definitely.
