Well below is definitely better for the flow, and I'd just cut the splitter around it, but how low will it be?

Otherwise definitely 2x 45 degree bends over 2x 90.

It would be around 3" off the floor :/ so dam low for the road..

Iv ordered 2x 90*, 2x 45* and a 1x 60* and 1x 30* and 1x 1m length

I'm defo looking at the 2 45s or 60 30

what sort of diameter pipe are you going for ? it looks really tight space wise and theres always going to be movement in the exhaust when driving so trying to squeeze it through a small gap could cause lots of knocking and banging. How far from the ground would it be if you went underneath ?

Might want to sketch the 60 30 setup on a bit of paper bud ;-)

... Whatever angle you raise by you then require the same angle to level it back out again.

Yeah 3" is low, but I think it will be your best bet. As Secia pointed out, that gap looks tight and you want at least 2.25" tubing.

How wide is that gap?

for the splitter you could try black foamboard

its probably bit more bendy than abs plastic, but just as tough
