Default While Am At It

I am sure everyone found a moment or two thinking of this: "while am at it". 79 Dual exhaust is completely "mock up": so I thought "while am at it", i'll go ahead and install an "H" pipe since it will be easier for me to fabricate.

So, here's the question. Can someone share where or at what location did you incorporate an "H" on your 79 or C3. Did you go larger pipe dia for the crossover pipe.

the exhaust system I install is 2 1/4", I was thinking going with the 2 1/2" crossover pipe. Thank you.

Here is a shot of the underside of my old '79. This was done by the previous owner, but it may give you an idea.
