Default large exhaust with 4/6 drop

Who is running a high flowing (single 3.5" or larger, or dual 3") with a 4/6 drop that isnt dumped? Looking for ideas on how it was done.

I have... but can't find much in the way of a 3.5" or larger. If you know where to get it I would appreciate that!

I don't have 3.5in tubing but I have 3in tubing.

It's bent up over the axle, between the sway bar and fender in a blow down exit.

You can't see it unless it's cold out or you see the soot mark. Lol.

It's looks like it may be possible to get 3.5in over and down in a similar fashion.

Oval tubing virtually doesn't exist in stainless tube. Only guy that might have it is McMaster carr. No large, metal distributors stock it.

I run 3.5" over the axle without issues with 6" flip kit and I even had it at 8" with shackles.

These guys form their own tubes so they are crazy expensize. The big stainless steel tubing mills like American stainless and rath gibson don't touch oval.
