Oh, how lame! I can't believe I didn't notice that in the picture.
OK, well yes I can cuz I once bought an economy set of headers for an
old Pontiac I had and didn't notice it combined the 2 center ports out
of one tube until a friend pointed it out. D'oh.

They are not hanging down. The spot the cross under the frame is
directly behind the skid plate, and is not as low as the skid plate,
and just behind them is the front mount for the spring plates. I can
see how it would be *possible* for them to get caught on a
particularly sharp rock, but they're not *that* vulnerable.

Hmm... but...your "if ever there was a need for a skid plate" comment
got me to thinking... I have some plate steel that I could very
easily do a couple of spot welds on to run between the rear of the
skid plate to the front spring mount point...or maybe at an angle so
the front bolts to the skid plate and the back is bolted to the frame,
just behind the pipe....hmmm.... Need to get out there and look at it
up close and personal but that might be a good afternoon project for
me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm... but...your "if ever there was a need for a skid plate" comment
got me to thinking... I have some plate steel that I could very
easily do a couple of spot welds on to run between the rear of the
skid plate to the front spring mount point...or maybe at an angle so
the front bolts to the skid plate and the back is bolted to the frame,
just behind the pipe....hmmm.... Need to get out there and look at it
up close and personal but that might be a good afternoon project for
me. Thanks for the suggestion.

Re: Final exhaust system solution
I hate to be so negative on you Travis, but your pipes are well exposed and
ripe for getting torn to shreds, or smashed flat.
