My Duster doesn't have a location that is easy to get to for a 3" Pipe to get by the cross member by the tranny. It has two raised spots one for the driver's side pipe and one for the pass side pipe, but the pass is way over towards the driver's side so it would require practically an "S" bend to get the pipe to go through it. I think these headers are longer than what I previously had on there because it worked with 2-1/2" pipe, but it wasn't quite the sharp "S" Curve it will have to be now.
I can tell my exhaust guy to put it under the cross member, but I don't know how this is going to effect clearance. I don't drive it in the city much at all, but I think if I put it under the cross member, in a straight line from the header outlet, that I may not be able to clear some of the "Slow" bumps (speed bumps) in the city if I ever did need to go there.
Any ideas?[/QUOTE
I built my own exhaust , dual 3 1/2'' , dumped down in front of the rear axle. U can pie cut the pieces coming out of the header collector to turn down and back up to header level , mine do not touch anything , and have not had any problems w/ speed bumps or other wise . Th upper bolt on the drivers side header is a little tough , but do able.
I run two 3 1/2" bullet mufflers with 3 1/2" spiral inserts tack welded in side them before the turn downs. Not really too loud, no drone or racking, but u can definitely hear the 440/505 . I would think 3" would be a piece of cake on my 68 fastback . ---------A mig welder is a great investment !!
