mikey boys true duals run underneath the gas tank. My exhaust for my turbo setup runs underneath the gas tank as well.

Under the tank is better. It eliminates 3 bends from each pipe. That also equals a shorter distance traveled for each bank too. It took Demon's design to convice me of this routing and I didn't believe it until I saw his pics, otherwise my tru duals would have looked like his...
Oh and H-Pipe, not X-Pipe.. Figured Demon would have gotten on getlucky151 about that.

Where does the H-pipe go when running under the tank?? Also how many mufflers would you run 2 or 4, or 2 mufflers, 2hi-flow resonators..??

Whether X or H, place it as far forward as convienient. The sooner you start to balance the pressure in both sides of the exhaust, the better.

Take a look at DemonSVT's website. He explains everything down to the nitty-gritty. It's definitely a great reference tool for people doing ANY of the mods he's performed. I can't tell you what his car sounds like with that setup, but can assure he's reached it's full potential in exhaust flow with his, dare I say it, anal(and I say that in a good way  ) attention to detail.

I know that multiple people have duals under the tank, but if you have to drive in snow and/or over speed bumps, how does it work with lowered suspension.

My exhaust pipes have more ground clearance then my side skirts or lowest points of the front bumper.

Before the Trubendz, I wanted to build a true dual setup UNDER the gas tank, but thought better of it because I didn't want it bottoming out, or causing a problem with the gas tank itself. Well, now 650 dollars later I know what I COULD have done!  Meh, Im totally happy with what I have
