3sgte 2inch dual exhaust? Options

[Arturio55]

Gonna be swapping very soon, already have EVERYTHING except the engine itself which ill be getting in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
my car is lowered (slammed) and I only have about 3 inches of clearance under car. Im thinking of moving the cats up towards the front or just deleting them, and then doing 3 inch exhaust tucked into the driveshaft tunnel that goes to a y pipe that splits up into 2 inch dual exhaust for the back half of the car, that way I can go over the rear suspension and have 2 small mufflers that won't get torn off if I hit a bump.

Your thoughts?

Another option I think that could be good for your situation is an "exhaust cutout".
Gives you the option to run your 2" piping which I think will be restrictive for a 3s, but if you simply open it up you can up your boost/power.

Ive read about those but dont know if I could trust a remote controlled exhaust.
just to be hard headed, I think im gonna run a y pipe and 2 or 2.25inch dual exhaust from there. If it doesnt run how I want then ill simply get rid of it. It it turns out to be a horrible idea then ill forewarn the entire 3s world from now on. If it works then yolo

Yeah the cutout is simply a y pipe with nothing on one end. I've had mine for over a year, still works like the day I bought it. I know a few other people that have had them on their 3s as well for even longer.
If you do buy one, I wouldn't buy the ebay one obviously you get what you pay for.

Im not a fan of the straight pipe sound. If im gonna boost my balls off I'd rather do it with class. Everyone keeps talking about back pressure with a y pipe and dual from there back but its not a big deal. Ill have a turbo and small piping. I just need one person with knowledge and experience to give me the final ok my conscience needs to go forward with it
