Does MAC make an o/r Short X-pipe for thier LT Headers?

Im mainly going for sound, because my car is based on show, not race, so I figured I'd go cheap and still grab the performance gains at the same time just for the hell of it.. But I rather go with both MAC parts along with my LM1's instead of having to go with 3 separate brands for each individual part.

I have seen a BUNCH of H-pipes, but I havent really seen any X? So I was wondering, maybe they don't make an X pipe?
Let me know.. I want an offroad X.

Thanks guys.

Code,

What about dremeling holes in the flanges.. for the perfect alignment. I obviously can't do it myself, and Im having the full exhaust installed by a local guy. Is this another project that comes with the MAC Headers or is this only going to take him 10 mins?
Because Im obviously paying by the hour, and I dont want to pay more than I have to.

And I saw somewhere you recommended stage 8 bolts or something? Is that just for MAC Headers or were you making a general statement for all headers? Because for the MAC LT's + the bolts.. I might as well get BBK.

Thanks code.

I have to jump in. No, its not for all headers. I know someone with the BBK LT`s and they lined up perfect.

I meant just the stage 8 bolts.. Are those for headers in general? Or just the MACS?

Despite popular website belief, MAC exhausts give pretty good power gains. According to MM&FF's mustang performance book.

I would recommend the Stage 8 header bolts on all headers. You don't want to have to come back later and try to tightn the header bolts. The dremel work took less than an hour. I also recommend Percy's header gaskets, (they are expensive...around $50.00, but well worth it).
