Pacesetter LT's installed..might have clearance issue

It seems my drivers side pacesetter long tube at the very end, under the car looks like it is blocked from going straight back by part of the actual body. Kind of hard to explain. Basically there would be no way I can run a pipe straight back to the rear because the underbody hangs down to low. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or do I need to host a pic?
I'll be installing true duals and just want to make sure it will fit ok.

Thanks

I had the same issue but when I went with the true duals, you can angle that pipe a little bit to clear, but then you loose ground clearance. I had clearance issues and the car was to loud with bullets so I just took it all of and put the Pacesetter Y pipe and the hooker catback on. The Y pipe from them has a crushed area in it to give you more clearance from the frame rail. Wes_95...I bought mine from www.redlineperformanceengineering.com

Thanks

Well when I had the duals, the pipe that went from that header tube to the X was angled down a little bit just to give it a little more clearance, even then it was close, especially to the fuel/brake lines. It worked but clearance wasn't the best. Im much happier with the setup now that I went to the Y pipe and catback instead.
