Ok, out of BMR, UMI, or Spohn what I am looking at to get is good ground clearance with a y-pipe but also a sturdy design with the crossmember. I have the Hooker 2210s. Will a mufflex y-pipe clear any of those crossmember or will I have to do some fabbing to the y-pipe. If I have to, I'll just have a local place build me one because I'm not paying $275 then another $100+ to get it to fit right, why do more then you have to, right?

just get a shop to do it in the first place. Ive heard alot of bad things about the Mufflex Y-pipe not fitting right..and when you get it all done at a shop they will do it right the first time.
