Dual exhaust options for 87 TA with Summit G9005 Headers

My Y-pipe doesnt fit anymore do to my use of a very large moroso oil pan, so I feel that I almost certainly have to go dual exhaust.
I’d like it to exit before the rear tire, which should have plenty of clearence at the wheel due to my much taller tires in the back.
Does anyone know any kits or pipes that could be cut or put together to achieve this, especially on the driver side

Heavily modified speed engineering 4th gen dual kit. Having gone dual, id do everything you can to just run a properly sized single.

You're not gonna find a bolt on dual w a dump in front of the wheels. Build a custom exhaust and use those nascar style/boom tubes exhaust ends. They're flat and really wide. That said its gonna be loud and you're gonna loose lots of drivability dt ground clearance. If its a track car cool. If you wanna drive it on the street, do a single. I have a custom y pipe to a 3.5 single to a spintech muffler to 3 in duals. All in the stock spots.

i have a bronco w dumps in front of the rear wheels. It came this way from to P/O. Its miserable. It loud but whats worse is at a stop light the fumes come up and it stinks in traffic. I couldn't imagine it in one of our cars.




again, not the move I would make on a street car.
