Default Custom exhaust help from anyone?

I want to run a single in, dual out flowmaster super 44. (I am going to leave the cat) I want to put a piece of exhaust tubing that turns outwards towards the doors on each side coming out of the dual outlets. Then my exhaust would run out on each side right before the read fender well.

So finally my question is.... Is this possible??

To my knowledge exhaust is one of those things where pretty much anything can be done if you have the fab skills.

As long as you have means to make hangers and such it shouldn't be hard at all. Good luck, let us know how it goes! (and how it sounds, I've got a flowmaster 40 on mine)

Will do, I will put some pics and vids up of it when its complete.

As far as hangers go. I might just tack weld. Lay some heavy beads.

If you got the time and skills do it right and cut a hole in the frame rails, weld in a section of larger pipe, and route it through that. It would suck to to through that effort and get it crushed on a off roading excursion. I plan on doing that when I replace my floors so I can do full welds outside, and inside the rails. Except mines gonnna be a high flow cat, and straight pipes. Just my 0.02

That should be fine. Just watch for driveline interference issues. It's my DD and light mud toy right now but a 07 Liberty may be in the cards within the next year or so, so I figured to just do it once, that way I won't have to re-do it again when I start wheeling and moding. Check youtube. There's a guy running your exact desired setup, but it's straight piped. It should be on a snowy road, 31" tires and 3" of lift (thats what it looks like) and it has Pontiac GTO tips (the new ones).
