Default 2000 Specific X pipe

This might seem like a stupid question but here goes.

I am military and I move very often(18 houses, 4 states, 3 countrys in 6 years) and some places have emissions and some don't. I was going to get a set of emission legal shorty headers(I know LT's are better) and then use my stock H pipe. But I would also like a off road X pipe for normal dutys that will swap directley with the 2000 pup can X pipe. Do they make such a thing? Or should I just build my own?

Thanks
Troy

What does a X pipe have to do with emisions it is downstream of the cats so it should not have any effect.

Sorry I should have been more specific.

I would want an entire bolt in center section, that I can swap in for emissions tests and inspections. From the headers to the over the axle pipes, and eliminate the cats.

I know this isn't what you asked about but have you considered cutouts? I thought it might be an option for you.

Not really what I'm going for.

I just want to replace the midpipe with a bolt in catlee section with a decent X pipe. But be able to bolt my stocker back in in case I move to a place that has inspections and such.

I know there are these for other years, but the 2000 is a little different in length I beliveve due to the pup cats.

Safe bet you're going to have to fabricate (for lack of a better word) such a thing yourself.
