I just installed TSP long tube headers and 3 inch O/R X-pipe on my 2003 corvette but i am having the hardest time trying to find exhaust that will bolt up to the 3inch mid-pipe. Either i am looking in the wrong places or something, i have no idea. i have researched on here but links weren't working so i'm reaching out for your guys opinions. I really wanted to go with the Billy Boat Bullets but every time i call them to try an order from them i get the "we'll get back to you" and they never do . At this point i am almost considering doing bullet mufflers with turn downs after the mid pipe (will that hurt performance?) if i can't find any results . Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank ya'll so much!

I would use caution on the turn downs after the mid pipe, read on the forum some time back were it affected the rear leaf spring. To much heat maybe??????
Check with some of your local muffler shops..they can fit just about anything...

So i called a local shop and they said it would be a full days work (12hrs minimum) at $100/hr plus $5-600 in parts... Soooooo... I called B&B again and finally got someone on the phone and they were really helpful and quoted me $825 shipped for a set that they would "Custom" make for my application allowing me to run my 3inch mid pipe and the B&B Bullets will be able to fit to it ! really excited about that because i had my heart set on the B&B's because i love that sound they produce!

Parts... if it includes new cats that's a bit high but depends on the brand. If that's 2 pieces of 2 1/2" or 3" aluminized steel (or stainless for that matter), then again, ridiculous.

Wait, what!!?? That's beyond ridiculous. $100/hour is fine, 12 hours plus to hook up headers to a cat back is laughable. Every city has that special exhaust shop gearheads know about. Find it! Talk to some people, a car club perhaps. I'd say 3 hours, maybe 4 tops (definitely nowhere near 12).
