Thats Lee's car from BMR! He is running 2.5" exhaust. Believe the car is also not mini tubbed. 3" is possible, all depends on ride height. Room runs out above the axle once you go lower. Its possible for sure, will just take some time, some brains, and some creative skills. We have the exhaust dumped before axle on both my car and Freedombird. The bird is getting all new exhaust again with 2.5" to try and clean it up and get is all the way back.

I don't want to do dumps, it just resonates in the car too much. I was wondering if you could narrow the fuel tank just enough to route the pipes past the tank? I could run 2.5" pipes, I don't think there would be too much power loss between 2.5" and 3" pipes. I like the fact that BMR is right here local to me and they do make good stuff. I used their stuff on my 96 Camaro SS.

Is there more or less room under the rear of a 2nd Gen Camaro? I'm talking about near the gas tank area where the tail pipes would route through.

All the way back via over the axle or under the axle is possible. Time ran out on Freedombird, but is being redone with all new 2.5" pipes and tails out the back in the next couple of weeks. My car is dumped, it ungodly loud anyway, and for now it suits me. I'll end up taking mine all the way back when I have a chance.

Getting full tails on the car by going over the axle is doable, gonna take some time and creative thinking, but for sure doable!

We did two separate cars with 2.5" exhaust all the way out the back. One has OE wheelwells, the other was mini-tubbed with 335's on the back. I have yet to build a 3" but I do think it is possible. The first and second gen have about the same amount of room for running exhaust. I know you can do 2.5" and probably 3" on the second gen as well.
