My tank is notched but you have to get your pipes past that wicked bend and upper link first. 2.5 inchers would defiintely help.

The exhaust on Velocity is really simple (ok, we cheated and used an aftermarket tank). But it simply goes under the rear end:

I don't think many are excited about exhaust under the rear end. Looks kind of half assed if you ask me.

Yeah I would probably rather dump it before axles than go under it...

I don't understand the reluctance to run exhaust under the rear? We have done a couple of cars this way and both work just like any other exhaust. You can't see it from the rear, and it doesn't hit the ground, so where's the problem? Just cause it's always gone over the rear does not necessarily mean it always has to go there.

Velocitys pipes looks just right. Since the has low stance pipes can go under the axle as well as over it. I dont see much difference.

You could see it on mine and for instance adjusting your rear coilovers would require the exhaust to be removed so you could take the pressure off the springs and let the rear end droop. Hey it's a killer car just purely stating my 8 cents worth on why I don't want it that way.

Understood. I get caught up in my little "air bag" world and forget about those who have to crawl under the car to adjust coil-overs.

I'll see if I can dig up any pictures that route 3" over the rear.
