Default Factory side pipes question

Does anybody make a high flow muffler that fits inside the factory side pipe heat shields? Any help is appreciated.

Here's the only ones I could find-

Sweet Thunder 2½" pipe and 2 1/4" inner baffle

I ended up making my own- and spaced the covers out with ½" square tubing to fit a 4" pipe

Sweet Thunders-



Mine- used 304 stainless

This is from 13 years ago, but may give you some ideas. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...rformance.html Bad news is Stahl is out of business, but ACP in Harrisburg, Pa does sell his bbc and sbc side exit headers.
