Default XPipe Question

My setup requires a 3" xpipe to connect to Stainless Works long tubes @ stock center to center width. It can be either 3" or 2 1/2" exit, stock width. It will connect to my 2 in 2 out Borla that takes the place of the normal rear end of the center section.

Any ideas are appreciated!
Thanks - David.

Are you deleting the cats or are you using HiFlo's and plan to use your rear O2 sensors? Sounds like you need 3" ID to 2 1/2" OD reducer pipes and Torctite clamps for lapped joints.

I have 3" Dr Gas crossovers on a couple of Mustangs I have now; I thought there might be a piece already fabbed for the C5. Like the Mustangs, I want the xpipe as close to the collector as possible, but I don't think there will be enough room from the rear of the xpipe to the front of the Borla for Hi-Flow cats. I haven't taken the final measurements yet though, I might be able to fit a post xpipe cat in if I cut the in pipes to the Borla. I plan on deleting the post cat sensors in the computer.
Thanks - David.
