Default 3" Midpipe?

Does anyone make a 3" midpipe for longtubes? I know MAC used to, but it looks like they don't offer it now. Im just needing a typical ball and socket midpipe, doesn't matter as far as "H" or "X", as long as it is 3". Anyone?

Thanks

the ~$130 i spent for my summit X was well worth it...

and it took like 1 hour to get it to fit my longtubes...

How are you guys fitting the off-brand X's to the ball and socket headers and cat-back? Having an exhasut shop use an expander?

An exhaust shop could do it, I personally cut the ball and socket stuff off and did slip fit.

Back from the dead.


I bought this Xpipe:

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-642130/

I took it to a muffler shop so it could keep the ball and socket fit and have it welded. The shop said it doesn't fit without modifying it. I told them it is universal but they said there is no way and the angles aren't right. Is this the kit you guys used? I don't really have time to even look at it this week so I have no idea how close it is. Thanks
