3.5 inch pipe

Does anyone here know of a 3.5 inch over the axle pipe that is available from anywhere? Maybe Mufflex would sell it individually? I'm thinking of upgrading, the i pipe is no problem, but over the axle I think will create a challenge.
Thanks

Re: 3.5 inch pipe

Why 3 1/2? And no, it'll have to be custom.

Re: 3.5 inch pipe

My guess was most people don't need 3 1/2 so they didn't make it

Re: 3.5 inch pipe

I've seen the mufflex system,I'm gonna contact them and see if I can get the over axle pipe. I can build the piping, it would just save some time.
I currently have the "almost 3" dynomax pipe with a Spintech muffler. I want to go to the 3.5" pipe to free up a little hp if possible, gives me room to grow without the overkill of the 4". I believe I can tuck a 3.5" pipe pretty well also.
Thanks

Stainless Works. You can only get the system thru Hawks. You might be able to get a piece from them.

Re: 3.5 inch pipe

Nice work fellas. And thanks for the insight and help. I can fab the whole thing if I can get my hands on the bends in the right size. Just saves time if I can get something ready to go. I don't want a muffler or tailpipes as I already have that stuff.
Thanks again
