3" exhaust pipe over rear axle ???

[nervas]

I would like to install 3" exhaust pipe from turbo till the end with one silencer (seperate WG somewhere under the car) so, tha main problem I think is to fit up and over rear axle, there is pretty tight. Maybe you have some pictures or experience fiting there 3"?

yeah I have taken quite a few of my install and it was a PITA. Make sure you got somewhere that spends their time fitting it I had to take mine back to have it fixed over 7 times.

It has been modified since these pictures removing the first silencer but the other two are still fitted.

Yes I think, that install is PITA.

And when you are driving, is there any sounds of exhaust hitting rear axle?

i spaced my sub frame down by 20mm to add a bit more clearance, its never dragged on the drive shaft and its been on bout 9months, spacer gives you that extra bit of breathing space when making it aswell, i only have one box aswell 12"x8"x4" i think and that sits just before the rear diff

Jeffer and i just fitted a 3" system and it fitted well, we didn`t lowered the subframe, we had around 1,5 cm aboven and under clearance.

I can make some pictures of this if you want i have some pictures of the whole system in my project progress thread.

let me know,

it would be very nice, to see some details of rear diff and 3" pipes

It doesnt hit the rear axle but it is very close. If could do with moving back slightly to give better clearance over the drive shaft but I have left that for now until I have money to afford to get it changed again but it functions ok.

I've got 3" and there are no clearance problems at all Take some time to get it right, but it's not difficult.

Its possible-I got 3" on mine-clearance very tight, but possible.

Just stealing your thread, I have a T04E, with RS2 Hot side, I`m using the RS2 Downpipe, would be better to run 3'' back. I`m not going to change my downpipe right know ... just want to know if will bring any benefit if I change downpipe back.
