The DT headers have a 2" collector on each side, then a 2" Y-
pipe connector to the passenger side, then a 2.5" cone that taps into the
stock
exhaust flange in front of the Cat. The crossover pipe does sit a little
low,
but only about as low at the front crossmember of the suspension... Oil
changes
are a breeze now too!
