Default Exhaust routing

I'm getting another exhaust fabbed up. Lost old one by storing it at a friends while engine was out. Long story.

383
AFR 195 eliminators
230/230 0.598 " on a 110
6 speed

I plan on also putting on a 250 shot since it's all forged internals (rods, crank, pistons)

I was talking to day to a mech about making me a 3" exhaust , using 3" hi flow cats and 40 series Flowmasters as before.

I also plan on a solid rear swap (Carroll's rod and racecraft) for next year.

Now, will my exhaust routing be altered by getting one made up for IRS for this year and then a solid rear next year?

Can I see some pictures of exhaust routing of those running solid rears?

I would certainly think that the "solid rear" would require modificataions of sorts. You could maybe fabricate it to a point that would be maybe the rear of an OE resonator then do the rear sections(L & R) to be a slip-fit to that assembly. Next year you just do the rear(L & R) using your mufflers over.

You can accomplish the 3" mandrel bends locally?
