True duals PIC

I put a lightbulb under the lowest point for a reference.
Notice toward the back the pipe actually goes higer then the subframe connectors. You can also barely see the bottom of the muffflers in back.
the GIF format destroyed the color but its to big to upload otherwise

How hard was it to fabricate up? Im not sure if i wanna make up true duals as a small side project.

A SFC is in my way though. How does it sound?

Hey some of us don't like rock chips in our paint and live on gravel roads!

I wouldn't recommend this to the faint of heart. Very loud and takes a lot of time to get routed right if you want any type of clearance. SFC's aren't really in the way. The stupid tranny member is the worst because you have to go under it.
I think I have them tucked up in the frame tighter then almost anyone I have seen do this before.

Deadbird cut the hell out of his tranny crossmember to get his to fit nice and tight...did you mod yours at all?

And I can clear a lightbulb
I'd actually like to see some better (more clear) pictures of wht you did. It seems as though you did a fairly descent job.

I gotta complement you on that cross member Deadbird - you got plenty room
I had a little interference problem with my speedo adapter on a Tremec doing the same thing
I saw an article in from old mag I got that advertised a double hump crossmbr for Third Gens - before the time of web addresses and the phone number of the company is disconnected
If you're going to run duals on opposite sides of the drive shaft like most other cars with dual exhaust a crossmember with clearance is a good thing
