Default x pipe needed..
This is going to sound like im a complete freaking idiot.. but I bought JBA cat4ward longtube headers about a month ago because I got a smokin deal on them.. Long story short, Im having a hard time finding an x pipe to go along with them.. Each catless x pipe ive found either says it specifically designed for a certain brand, or isnt the right size.. ie. for stock manifolds or is 2.5" instead of 3". anyone with any information please help me out, thanks.

I just looked them up. It looks like a reducer/collector comes with them. Did you try to contact the manufacturer or a dealer?

The jba long tubes come with pipes that connect to the stock cats. When I was looking at the jba long tubes I was looking at using the bassani aft cat pipes http://www.bassani.com/part/570013 and there x-pipe. I wasn't sure if the everything would bolt up with out modification and welding.
