Double hump conversion X-member for T-56

Adris Skulte or Steve Spohn, or anyone else.......

Could one of you guys make a double hump conversion x-member to retro-fit a T-56 into a thirdgen?

I have a conversion x-member and my T-56 has been in my car for a long time, but I want to run dual exhaust and I need the pipes to run inside the tranny tunnel a little higher off the ground, hence the need for the double humps (one on each side of tranny).

I'll post an example pic in just a sec.

Something like this, only for a T-56 in a thirdgen app.

I'm getting ready to make one also. I'm gonna try to use the thick C channel for the humps like the gforce one you pictured.
