SLP headers & y-pipe for a convertible?

Does anyone know if they make anything for convertible cars?

I thought the exhaust was the same regardless if it is a convertable or hardtop?

Convertibles have a stamped reinforcement that runs along the pinch welds. That stamped steel looks to be right in the way of where the SLP y-pipe runs on my 87. Does anyone make a headers y-pipe combo for verts?

Hmmm, ive never heard of any special headers for a vert so I doubt it gets in the way. I could be wrong though, but this is the first I have heard of anything like that so I assume it is not an issue with convertables.

No issues with headers on verts. All the same. The only bracing ASC really used was in the back and a little along the side in the sail panels area. It was not the best that's why SFC's are awesome for verts

So the SLP 1 3/4 - single cat header Y-pipe combo will fit? I'm thinking about robbing the headers and cat back off my 87 for the verts new engine.
