Default bolt on offroad x pipe?

Looking at the x-pipe solutions available, it seems most retain stock cats and need you to cut the stock pipes for install... I'm looking for something that replaces the stock midpipe completely despite the loss of cats, or something that has aftermarket cats included.... I really haven't seen anything available other than some of the longtube header setups out there, and I already have longubes...

Whats available?

If you already have longtubes then why don't contact the mfg of your headers and find out about a matching xpipe

That would make sense.

Only reason I haven't done that is that the factory H is still intact... I assume therefore that anything meant to replace that... should fit. I can certainly call or email lingenfelter and ask what they reccomend (their headers)

You have to change your headers. Not all Headers and exhaust parts are interchangeable

Most long tubes are different lengths so ones xpipe may not reach the part that goes over your axle when bolting up to a different brand long tubes.

Ok, makes sense that because different companies make different length headers, that each midpipe would be different as well...
