Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

It is possible to have 3" dual exhaust and have good ground clearance. This is the setup I am currently running. Notched the frame rails and reinforced with steel plates and unboltable brakets for removal if necessary. Its way stronger than that thin factory metal. Just thought I would share it!

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

well, good ground clearance is relative, i would rip those off leaving my driveway, but still they have better clearance up front than most, so props for that.

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

No catalytic converters, just some dynomax bullet mufflers that flow straight through.

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

Could you take a side pic with your car on the ground (to see the side ground clearance) please?

Good idea!

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

What is the point of hacking apart your subframe rails and putting a giant notch in them for an exhaust pipe if you're just gonna run the pipe UNDER the ground fx in the back?

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

Ok so the lowest point of the system (the bottom of the muffler) is 5 inches exactly. Just measured it with a tape measure. It is 5 and a half inches from the ground to the bottom of the pipe where it comes out the side. My car is stock height with stock suspension, the beefy tires may help a little w/ ground clearance but the size is fairly common.
Here are some pics as requested.

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

Thanks man, I like that paintjob you have there. I actually don't know lol, there is no inspections or emissions check over here so as long as i don't get pulled over its all good. Most cops I drive by either think it is cool or just have better things to do then pull me over for noise. This is a street strip car that gets driven like 2-3 times a month to go to car shows and track

What mufflers are those, that's how I'd like to set-up my exhaust.

Re: Stainless 3" Dual Exhaust Setup

I would probably use two of those mufflers on each side, and baybe put a few more bends in the pipes to quiet it down.

I'm not a fan of the side exit exhaust, but you did a great job. Reminds me of a T/A Challenger!
