Default 4" tahoe exhaust

has any body put a 4" exhaust on a tahoe or avalanche? i'm trying to find out if the 4" pipe will fit over and around the rear axle and pan hard bar. it looks like it will but not sure. it looks like if it squats to far it might hit the panhard bar.

any body got an idea of what i can use to slip over the pipe that is there now that would give me 4"s so i can do a mock up. i was going to try one of those swim noodles but they are only 2.5".

Back pressure is as overrated as condoms. Some people swear ya gotta have it, but I want nothing to do with it. Less back pressure= quicker spool and more power.

thought about it but i like having the full power all the time any time. plus i already have the 4" magnaflow. took it off my old truck. it would be a shame to not put it to use. so if i don't drop my hoe i should have more room right.?.
