With i am assuming an x braced frame on your dart you are more than likely going to have to run a high ride height to have some ground clearance on those 3" tubes. Try to find a real good exhaust shop that can do mandral bending on the larger pipes and he can keep them tucked as high as possible. We did not encounter this problem on our demon , but we do not have the lower hanging x. We went with southside machine connectors and comp. connector braces.

I have done these for cars using sub frame connectors, currently I have two A-body BB cars with fenderwells and 3.5" full exhaust. I begin by notching the frame behind the collector, and then just keep the pipes as high as possible. If neede I'll notch the subframe connectors too, but haven't done that with my current car. The mufflers are in stock places, I have 3" pipes go over axle with two more mufflers where the gas tank used to be. This way I have never had problems with pipe to ground clearance. I build the exhausts my self buing mandrel turns and some straight pipe, and start welding. This way they really don't cost much. I don't use the H-pipe in my cars, it
would propably make things more complicated.

If you need the ground clearance, there is a Charlotte, NC based company called BSR. They carry OVAL 3" and 3 1/2" Pipe for winston cup cars. Their phone number is 704-662-0901 for the shop here in Mooresville (Race City USA)
