Well, This is about 3 hours worth of work. Pardon the shitty welds, I'm still learning, and finally figured out I had the voltage AND wire speed up too high. And that when I turn it down, I have to go much slower.
If anyone wants to do this on their own: Make sure you butt the pipes together as close as possible... a 1/8"-1/4" gap is a PITA to fill in!
Oh well, it should serve my purpose well........ beating Rodney
3" pipe and I still have some tire room! |

That looks freakin sweet there. Nice idea on how to run the pipes.
It's nice to know that I can motivate others with fear of my taillights.  |

Rodney's Hammer is motivating hehe. It's not my idea to run the pipes that way, Willie on TGO did it. But no one (that posts) has done this with dual 3". They've all be 2.5".
Thanks for the kind words buddy.  |

There isn't anything that can match the sound of true dualz. What are you going to use for mufflers? I used moroso spiral flows and its got one mean sound. They don't make it any quieter then straight pipes though...just take the edge off.
