all you guys voting for 3X3, i thought consensus was that you cannot run 3" pipe over the axel without relocating the panhard bar? i thought you have to use 3 up front and 2.5 out the back? how is this gonna even be possible?

that being said, if you can find someone that has put 3" pipes over their axle and out the back without relocating or modifying a thing, i hereby retract all my statements and apologize in advance for my ignorance.

There are ways to run it over the axle and a replacement upper panhard rod could be included with the kit if necessary.
My personal preference is the 3 inch/ 2.5 combo. It'll support a ton of horsepower and give you more options for routing. Remember exhaust tube diameter can get smaller the further away from the collector you go. 2.5 inch after the X will not be a restriction even on the big HP setups imo.

search keeps timing out... lol. regardless of what I find..I don't think this will happen anyway. Companies are always talking about doing this and never coming through. Only company that did was tsp..and they're dumped. Also bassani, but that is 1k.

Guys, we are already in the development phase of the 3x3, true dual over the axle setup. Target price is 1100, stainless steel, TIG welded with a bullet style muffler. Obviously, we you can add in what you want, but its been done more than once, over the axle with no issues.
Target time for production is christmas, with units shipping by sometime January.
It will be an X pipe setup that will fit the Kooks/QTPs and an optional pipe to fit Hookers, Jet Hots, and Pace setters.
This is a no expense spared setup. No shortcuts have been taken and the most ingenious engineering has been used for the most clearance and best fitment.
I will keep you guys updated as I know more. We are currently knocking out the last of our C5/C6 parts now, and this system is next in line.

I think thats a pic of someone elses exhaust. I would rather have under the axle instead over. It looks badass from behind when driving, it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper, and you can do it 3x3.
