Have you actually seen a boomtube? There is no installing these into the i-pipe. It has to be totally custom setup.

You talking about some trick fabrication to do something like that. And even then it wouldnt be a boom tube. You would just be making use of the exit part. A true boom tube makes use of an X pipe. And I dont think there is any way you could make that work while coupled to all the rest of your quad exhaust components.
