Default x-pipe pics needed

I'm going to have duals with an x-pipe installed this Wednesday and need some pics I can print to show the installer how to run. TIA

Default x-pipe

i have pics if u want them but you can make your x-pipe without having to buy one...where th pipes come together in the back (under the spr tire) you can cut an oval out of the inside of both pipes and pull the together and re weld....i had to extend on muffler input end about 2 inches...but!!!!!! the rest of these picks that ave been posted are very nice too...*****.i did it this way because i used two single chamber flowmasters behind the crossmember for resonators,so tha took up that space good luck

Cool bunch of pics. Gives some good ideas here. I have always wanted to do this but for some reason just keep putting it off. marshrat99 be sure to take pics and bring to the thread along with your opinion of your new exhaust.
