Default Tubular K-member???

Does anyone know anyone that has made one or could make a tubular k-member for the C5 vette? Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Isn't ours already made of aluminum? I'd think the advantages of a tubular crossmember wouldnt be all there for a C5 compared to other cars.

The reason I am looking for one of these is because we are doing a turbo setup on a C5. A tubular k-member would help with exhaust clearance issues ;)
