I am searching around looking for the same thing.

How do I go about having a shop do it custom?

I have a DC sports exhaust and Strup header.

The only real and affective way to go about this is to just go to your local muffler shop and have them do a custom job for ya. Only real company that makes a Cat-back for us is Magnaflow...and it still requires going to a muffler shop to get it welded in. The Cat and 2 O2 sensors are in the midpipe, which is why no one makes one cuz than you wouldn't be able to pass inspection.

Its just best off to have your muffler guy cut and weld in a new pipe after the second O2 sensor to your axleback (or just have a full system made from scratch to your speck), and add a resonator of your choice.

Yeah, just go to your local muffler shop and have them do it, that's what I did. But I recommend you get a glasspack or resonator put it. I didnt, I have just a straight pipe I have soooo much rasp, I hate it.

So, your car was OK at inspection?

What size resonator?

yeah it was A-Ok, lol. But I failed for a broken windshield, I punched it.

I think something around 28" was what was recommended to me. Or you can use your stock res and have the pipe welded up from there, if the shop can modify the pipe to make a mini-collector.

obx dealers can sell you just the midpipe but it will not bolt up to your stock or aftermarket axle back due to the flange.
