I understand that but, what is the offset from when it go from the actual h pipe and kicks up to go through the trailering arm crossmember? I’m wanting to make it easier to remove this section by adding v bands at the header collector and also right before it go through the trailering arm crossmember!! I’ve also already had to replace the vr304 mufflers that came with the kit cause of blowing out the packing in them!! These were replaced with borla s type mufflers! Also would you guys be willing to sale the h pipe section offset without the holes cut into them? So it would just be 2 pieces of pipe with the offset in them that I could modify for my end purposes ??

Unfortunately, I don’t have the means to provide you with the discrete measurement you’re looking for as there are no project trucks in or around the lab at this point in time that would enable me to do so. There is no provision in our system to permit selling individual system components.
