Easier yes, better no ... You would probably hit everybump you try to go over ... especially if its a lowered car, I think that only times that i've seen it is on a few purpose built racers to try to free up some ponies from that huge bend ... its really not that much more if one HP ... I've seen people do like a 2.5" piping and at that bend do 3" (its kinda tight to get in there) but its to help compensate air flow.

No, I wouldn't run it under. I already have little enough ground clearance that I wouldn't want to reduce it by 2.5-3" by running the pipe underneath.

And it if it gets bumped AND pinched between the speedbump and the rear axle housing, what fun that would be!
