X-pipe oem fitting?
Im looking at fabbing up my own true dual setup. I do not want to change the existing exhaust manifolds so, they will remain in place. Does anybody make a x pipe that will fit up to the factory manifolds? Or if not downpipes that will serve the same purpose? Any help or input would be appreciated.
Please dont tell me that i should just go ahead and put lt s on the car. Ive dealt with headers before and do not want to deal with them on this car. I know i will see better gains but, im still not interested in lt s or any replacement headers for that matter.
Thanks for your help guys.

You can just use a regular X-pipe junction like every other TD system uses. You'll just be connecting to the factory exhaust pipe after the cats instead of headers. I've done it before. Just gut the cats while you have the catback off the car, then start from the gutted cats rearward with the TDs.

oh theres absolutely nothing wrong with lt's. its just that i cant afford them right now and i really dont want to go through the whole deal of installing them.
both of you ideas are great guys. im getting somewhere now. thanks.
