some say it is...but 3" TD's are bigger than a single 4" system and ppl run 3" TD's on bolt on cars all the time(hell i did it for a while). if you ever plan on goin to a H/C/I set up 4" will be ok for sure.

No they do not, the only one that does that i know of is FMG in Crosby like 1lejohn said.. But i can tell u Lone star does the closest thing to it.. But u might hit FMG up, they did my Mandrel pipes on my 65 c-10 about 13 years ago and looked real nice!

if you decide to go to lonestar, make sure you tell them specifically not to get paint on your car...

S&S muffler in clear lake shores, jim is the guys name and he does everything by himself. i wont say he's the best or anything but i'll tell you this much, with a 4" system + that big *** spintech i still have more ground clearance than i ever had with my previous systems.

just beware the mufflex system with the spintech is pretty damn heavy. about 60lbs to be exact. mufflex does make smaller 4" system with a 4" dynomax bullet i believe, thats a single dump just after the axle. and its not as heavy. but it is still just as loud as say an LM2.

oh well i was going to do a 3in to 3.5in FM merge then 3.5 I-pipe with a 3.5 to 3in reducer where is starts to bend over the axle and install a 2.5in center in/out hooker aero muffler where the stock would be and leave the passenger side pipe straight through. sorry if u dont understand.

Lonestar cut and welded my cutouts today. Gforce said it looked like they did a good job.
