I know bassani makes one but I think its for 2001? Not sure,stainless works has one,kooks but crazy price tag,they are really all high in price,I really want to do a dual set up but I'm so worried about clearance,I was thinking of doing the tsp x pipe and have a exhaust shop run it over the axle,print some pictures and take them to a few exhaust shops in your area and see what they can do for ya,would be way cheaper that way,I have seen some really nice cme over the axle set ups on here,having a exhaust shop do it I would asume would save you anywhere from 200 to 500 than just buying one

I love when you show shops exhausts already done on cars and they say they can't do it. Keep looking. The guy I'm most likely going to for my under the axle setup has done several 3 inch over the axle dual systems with no panhard relocation, and most everyone on here will say that that is impossible

Bassani and I think kooks now makes one. Big picture is that they are expensive as hell and its probly better to fab something up yourself, or if $ is no issue screw it, get the kooks.

They will say it can't be done because they don't want to see you every other day coming back with rattle issues. It can be done by a pro custom bender but it's really tight, very little/no margin for error.

Bassani and Kooks would be the best bet. They will have better engineering specs on their pieces and the price will probably be only $500 or so higher once you calculate the prices these local shops would try to charge for something as complex as 3in over the axle, and you get mandrel bend all the way through with these companies. Just save to do it right and I think you will be happy in the end.

Like I have said I have seen some great set ups ,great clearance,mandrel bends,all stainless done from anywhere from 500= 900,still way cheaper than kooks,2 grand for a exhaust set up is way overpriced,yes best x pipe system but I would never spend that much,I was gonna order the tsp x pipe and see how well I could tuck it up,then maybe just run under the axle to my cme untill I can find someone to do over the axle,mr.louis I think his name is had a really sweet dual system made up,and I think he paid 600, with the 2 magnaflow mufflers,if you have the cash for kooks etc then go for it,but even if I did I still think its way to much

The reason exhaust shops wont do it isnt cause of labor its mainly cause of the Bender.mandrel bent pipe is what you need cause of the bends needed to go up and over. I do a lot of exhaust everyday at my work and I can say I wouldn't even do it on my car unless I bought a bunch mandrel u bends.exhaust tubing Benders just Don get tight enough bends and look good.
Yes it can be done but if you have access to a welder I'd say do it your self and buy a a few u bends.but if you really want some one to do it this is the slow time of the year for shops so some one should be hungry enough for work
