A custom I pipe is a good idea, but using the original meant fitment over the axle would remain perfect.

as for the I ... any place that can do mandrel bends on a 3" pipe will do a great job... I've actually been considering it with a shop I go to down here, they can bend very close to whats done on a jig for the GMMG, with either stainless or the regular aluminized, and they'll lop off the 2.75" Y pipe connection and flare it to mate up with the chamber... so it sounds fantastic to me
i just really don't like the idea of taking more than maybe an inch off the GMMG I pipe for fitment issues (stupid kicked down Y to I parts anyway) but again, thats just me. (and yes, I am aware that the intermediate pipe is like the cheapest damn part of the exhaust system hahaha)

Yep, you're right, but my buddy's shop doesn't have a mandrel bender, and I don't know anybody around here who does ... so the cheap and easy solution was to hack it. Hacked it is ... I shed a tear for it but I recovered quickly
