Re: Home made 3" duals over the axle done!!!! *PICS*
Ill try to get a clip tomorrow, the audio on my camera kinda sucks though.
As of right now if I want to drop the tranny I will have to pull the exhuast off , I need to figure out a good place to flange it.
The car is pretty loud, but not to bad inside the car since all the sound goes out the back. It has a really deep sound to b/c of the h-pipe. Doesnt sound as good as I would like it too like if it had chambered mufflers on it, but Ive already had 3 or 4 compliments on the sound and Ive only driven it a few times since the exhaust.

That looks GREAT! I have been wanting to do something like that. I am running the LTs w/ a Borla cat back right now, w/ a cut out. I bet it sounds much better w/ those duals. I bet my CC306 would sing well through those 
Your welds look great, and I can personally assure you of that!

Its really not hard to do, if you have a welder, a chop saw and some time you can do it. To make sure my cuts were straight on the bends I tightened a hose clamp where the cut needed to be, this gave me a straight edge to make my mark for the cut.
I spend $300 on this setup for the bends, pipe and mufflers. Would have been cheaper if I had bought the stuff online.

Really? Where is the best place to get the piping?

Summit is actually pretty cheap. Their bends were $20 when I payed $27 and the bullets there are like $35 and I payed $40 each. I used 5 bends and I have about 4' left over from a 10' section of pipe.
A trick to getting the exhaust in and out as a whole is to pull the control arm on the passenger side and also pull the shock, panhard bar and support, and the sway bar endlinks.

awesome pics, thanks for posting!! that picture answers the question i posted earlier.
now that i can see them from that angle, its really iffy whether or not the same setup would on my car with the subframe connectors... The place that wont work, if any is on the passenger side: the pipe immediately ahead of the tunnel brace mount. I cannot tell from the perspective of the picture if it will be in the way or not.
