Want to build a single 3" exhaust for my car, and I'm considering one of the kits that comes with mandrel bent sections that are already expanded on one end. Slip it together for mock up, then weld when done, as I do have access to a MIG setup. Most of the kits appear to be for a dual exhaust, so I'll either get two exhausts out of it or have plenty of extra bits for trial & error to get one good exhaust (more likely!) Idea is to use a welded Thrush or Jones Racing muffler.
Plan is to run it out at the stock exhaust location behind the driver's side rear wheel/tire angled down/out/back instead of the the stock horizontal out to the side. I'm guessing nobody makes a Fox-chassis 3" single exhaust system, but if there's something out there like that, I am willing to buy it instead of fabbing up my own.
Separately, I figure I'll need to come up with a Y-pipe setup. To get started, I think I have one I can use from another vehicle. Not sure what I'll do long-term, but I'd like to start simple/cheap, then improve it later. It probably only has a 2-1/4" outlet. Any additional thoughts for that?
Example of kit on Summit, but they're also available at Speedway and even Amazon:

Has anyone done this, and if so, do you recommend it? What are some of the pros and cons? If anyone has done a single exhaust that goes to at least behind the rear axle, I'd love to see your photos! TIA
