I'm sure someone has got to be running this combo. Car is also lowered with an Eibach pro kit. Using a 4th gen Aluminum DS and a jegster Adj. TA. I would like to use an x-pipe instead of an h or y. (unless I can be convinced differently) Also would like to run 3" pipe, car is around 450-500 RWHP that will be getting a decent shot of giggle gas. Ideas, suggestions, pics?

Good luck finding that skulte crossmember.
I decided to go with a single pipe. Dual 2.5 equal out to a single 3.5 basically. It's easy to tuck a 3.5... 4 inch pipe will hang down another half inch... but I think it'd be acceptable if you do a good job tucking the exhaust along the stock route, up into the driveshaft tunnel and take it over hte axle. If you plan to dump it at the axle like I did it makes it more difficult to fit a muffler up there. I've got plenty of clearance, but I dont have enough to be able to drop the car.

I got some Hedman 3" s-bends today. PS fits like a dream, DS will need to be fitted. I also ordered the Summit x-pipe kit and a set of 3" glass packs. Hope it's gonna work. If it does, I'll try to get some pics up.

This sounds like what I am going to have to run. I would like to see some pictures. I guess these headers clear the slave on the T56?
I will need something that flows....I am going to build a AFR headed 400.
Looks like I will be making my own crossmember.
