Who knows, what's the measurements on it?

Are you looking for a offroad x or regular?

Well, it is an x-pipe but the first thing I see is the 2 runs are equal length which will present some challenges when trying to couple up the clamps on the exhaust pipes. Also, most stock exhausts are 2-1/2", is the x-pipe? And, most exhausts have flanged ends on the muffler sections where the pipes go up and over the rear axel and your photo seems to indicate a clamped connection which will be a real bear to hook up to unless you have flanges welded on. Just some food for thought.

Well here is the thing.

I have TPIS LT's I want to use this x-pipe (yes it is 2 1/2) I don't mind cutting it up to make it work. I also have an extra stock H-pipe i will use to help peice the exhaust together. I plan on using my stock Ti catback.

You can have a good muffler shop make you one just like that that will bolt right up for $60-$90, I just had a custom 3" H-pipe made yesterday for $40.
