Default X-pipes?

Does anyone make an x-pipe that is a direct replacement for the factory resonator? I would love to find something like that.

Also, the universal x's that I have found are 2.5" or 3". If I am not mistaken, my LT-4 has 2.75" exhasaust tubing????

Thanks!

You are correct regarding the stock LT4 pipe as being 2.75".

Not sure anyone makes an x-pipe as a direct replacement, but I recall there have been some postings about x-pipes being custom fabricated.

The guy who has done my exhaust for years would certainly be able to make one, but he is using a die and is not able to make mandrel bends. That's what I like about the Magnaflow and Dr. Gas x-pipes.

I may give Dr. Gas a call!!

You might try http://www.stainlessworks.net

They are in NE Ohio, they don't show 2-3/4 on web page but they might build one and they even do install.

I talked to them once, but no actual experience. They were pricey.
