exhaust 96 dakota

ok yall every body keeps telein me that my exhaust will be ok but wst should i do about the cross over on it because the first time i set it down its gonna pinch off or break manifold bolt or some shit so what is the cheapest way to redo my exhaust up above cross member height cause this is drivin me insane

all i did is section an inchou out of both sides of the y pipe right after the manifolds....cleared just fine for me.

would it be just as easy to run dual exhaust ive got a few pairs of mufflers layin around it might work???

I thought about the same thing. How would you run duals with the gas tank in the way?
