I would NOT put the pipes outside the frame. I would do 2 1/2" the whole way with the 'vette manifolds. And that IS what I did on the Jimmy. I think the balance/y pipe is a good idea. Run the exhaust over the axles and out the side at a 45 degree angle.

4x4 should never run pipes straight out the back. If you have to rock it or drive it backwards in mud/water it packs in the exhuast. 90 degree bend too restrictive IMO, so the the 45 is the anser.
