LOL...you're not looking too hard! I've seen these in the LT/LS section of every Jegs/summit catalog I have gotten in the past 15 years, and their on sale too:

Uh.....yea it is...it clearly says: "In 3.00'' / Out 2.50'' (Dual)" as in one 3" inlet, with two 2.5" outlets on either side......the picture they show is not of the specific muffler.

The only crossflow muffler flowmaster makes is the 80 series that comes in the American thunder catback. You can use the muffler above and loop one of the tailpipes back around to the passenger side. Or you can get a single in single out and just turn down the tailpipe behind the bumper.

Just call Jegs...they have the correct factory style replacement it is an 80 series though, not a 44 (most exhaust shops carry it too); I just saw it in the LT section of their catalog. Or do the loop thing.

Screw the flow and get a borla. Sounds better anyway.

Flowmaster is junk and will fall apart inside. Get a magnaflow,borla or similar muffler that is built better.

Really? I don't think your going looking very hard, I've had two shops weld up my exhaust since I deleted my cats. Have they told you why they won't do it?
