Default Pre-fabbed true dual setups?

I'm curious, why don't any of the companies that make the prefabbed setups use oval pipe like the stock y-pipe does, for clearance? With the right sized pipe, flow would not be an issue. Seems like it would really help to prevent scraping and such.

What kind of price difference is there? Your site doesn't really have much in the way of pricing as far as duals go to begin with, not even a ballpark.

it would be smarter for the lowered folks who have clearance issues, but some people dont get it i guess. I would think it would be hard to fab a oval setup though, you couldnt bend the tube the same way.

I'm not lowered, but there are some monster speed bumps at my apartments, and even later on down the road, I don't want to have be to worried about scraping all the time.
