yeah, that's why i was thinking turn downs, but i would just do it with normal pipe not chrome or anything, did turn downs quiet it much? i would also keep it under the valence, not sticking out.. I did my 3" exhaust from a amazon tubing/bends kit also.. really happy with how it came out, super tight to the floor with nothing rubbing.. First time i have made a full exhaust.. And this slip clamps makes life soo easy.. can remove it pretty quickly if needed
