Not a catback plus plus possible emissions equipment removal = many pitfalls.

its mostly due to space. it takes a bunch of time. you will have to find a shop that will do custom fabrication. call up Rev Xtreme in brandon and they will know some folks.

There is a place in Ocala that can do them. They did mine and several of my friends. It is called Pro-formance exhaust.

Call Rev extreme or race related.

I needed some "help" in getting rid of my cats and I am getting it from one of those shops.

I went down to Miami (Miami Muffler) to have CNC Mandrel Bent Stainless Steel exhaust added to my car. This was a hike for me to go down there but the job they did was incredible. The machine takes up 2 entire bays.

I went with 3 inch stainless pipe. The fit and finish is perfect. My factory exhaust was never this tight.

Give me a call if you haven't found a place yet.
There is a shop in Ft. Myers not to far away that could take care of you.
Thanks

When I owned Next Level, we fabbed up a nice 2.5" true duals with a custom X-pipe and two Magnaflow bullet mufflers for an LSx F-body. All stainless mandrel bent and TIG welded. Tucked up nicely where the standard single 3 inch exhaust goes and we used a BMR track bar locator to gain more room for the pipes over the axle. It sounded great and made good power, but the price is not for the faint of heart.

You can do the simple ground clearance killer like the ones most folks with dumps before the axle if cost is a big factor.

You can contact me via e-mail or PM and I can give you more info and maybe dig up a couple pics of it. Hope this helps.

I can not find the pictures to save my life. Going to a simple duals into an X and dumps is fairly easy. It is just a matter of making it fit right to have enough ground clearance as well as floor & crossmembe clearance. Be sure to use nice mandrel bends and TIG welding works best for a nice finish. We also use the stainless V-band clamps, but at $75-90 each, they are not for everyone.
