Dual Exhaust?

Dual Exhaust?
I did some searching around the forum and couldn't find anything on dual exhaust that would work with my pickup. I'd like to have the dual exhaust come out in front of the tires at a angle like my cousins pickup He doesnt have 2 fuel tanks like I do but his dual exhaust is just slapped together. I want mine to look sorta professional, yet without the price of a professional. As you can see my front fuel tank is in the way. I'm going to run the two side by side on the passenger side of the pickup and then have one go to the right and one to the left. With the fuel tank being in the way I didn't know whether to just load up on heat shields around the fuel tank and so back behind it and around to the frame and then out to the tire. I dont know if anyone else has done this like what I want to do or not but I'm open to some suggestions. I want to get dual exhaust but I have already hit some snags and I havent even started yet.

Here's a big exhaust thread going right below your post.

Your idea may or may not work, I have never seen it done that way and stay IN FRONT of the rear tires. You have to miss the driveshaft and it moves up and down a lot back in the rear near the rearend, and at the same time avoid the frame as you run it out the side.
I did one like you want yours, but I ran under the frame up front on either side, and then elbowed to the rear and shot it up on either side at a 45 degree angle to get the system up high and out of sight. Then ran it down both sides OUTSIDE the frame rails, and then a slight 45 to point it out and down beyond the body in front of the rear tires.
There was another guy on here that did his the same way, but he had a body lift, so he ran is pipes over the frame, since he had enough room to do so with the body lift.
