Default Custom midpipe question?

I was wondering is there a way to get a custom midpipe built without having to weld the axleback and spipe together? I would like to get a custom 2.25" midpipe with a resonator or 2 with a high-flow cat. I dont want to weld my axleback to the custom piping just in case i want to switch out exhausts.

any exhaust shop will weld a flange on the midpipe they make so it will bolt together...

the stock piping is about 2 inches.....so you want 2.5 inch piping..you can get a bolt on exhasut and have them cut of the midpipe if desired and put in what you want or if not then just have them cut from behind the stock cat and put in custom piping to the axle back im sure then can make your own bolt on exhasut..ill cost more but this way you wont have everything wleded togther

Like everyone said take it to a shop. I have a custom exhaust (2.5') with 2 resonators. Sounds great, you just gotta make sure they bend the exhaust right or you'll be knocking at the rear. I'll take pictures if you really want to see it.

I'm almost positive it is 2.25". I just deleted my secondary cat and used a 2.25" section to weld in place of it. The resonator is also deleted and so is my main cat. All I have is a magnaflow cat-back 2.5" and 2.5" turbo downpipe and it's quieter than any exhaust out there... even under WOT boost.
