Yellow = Old step-bar holder, these will be taken off (they were too rusted to budge when I tried by hand so we will go at it with a machine)
Blue = What needs replacing
Red = Gap where possible pipe can fit (I was able to see light when on the other side looking through with the camera, but I'm not sure why the camera didn't pick it up)







If we can do this, I was thinking of a single out muffler with a Y to split the pipes into two..

I know I have the rustmast and want to get rid of it but the 1in 2 out version is pretty nice. Does the same thing you want to do and will keep your exhaust tones equal and the exhaust flow equal.

Well poop. Still the y would work just out may have a difference in exhaust preasures after the muffler. Either way it will sound great. Are you going to bring the Tips straight out the back or are you going to angle them??

I'm going to try and angle them, or at least see if we can do it that way

Well true but I believe that his setup might give you some ideas on where to run the pipes. I look at mine everytime we have the truck up on a lift cause then you can visualize everything a lot easier.

I guess you could do like they do with the x pipe and run both pipes along the passenger side where you have more room and then cross the pipe over the driveshaft and behind the diff and exit it out the back or side or where ever you want it to exit. Just dont know where the h would have to be to even it out or if it could go where the x pipes usually go.

Maybe see what onebadbee runs on his, I know he has mentioned an h pipe a few times but I dont know if he has one or not.
