Default Duals exhaust over the axel and lowering

when i had my exhaust welded up i was concered with clearance but didnt think too much of it.
on my drivers side pipe it crosses over the axel right above the rear diff, i want to go 2" lower in the back but think i might bottom out on the pipe

does anyone have pics of how there pipes were routed, oh and im not getting rid of the tips

Yep you would be better off just dumpin the exaust right before the rear I have the 22'' magnaflow muffler dumped before the rear and it sounds the same as it did out the back probably gained a little hp too.

They will fit, but they both have to cross on the pass side, then the driver side would make a sharp bend towards the driver side and around the spare. Just put the exit in front of the rear pass wheel and you can still have tips, much easier.

I allways liked the exaust out the back with nice 3.5'' tips also but decided to get a roll pan and dump the exaust before the rear and have no regrets what so ever.
