midpipe

i have a mahnaflow rear section mated to my stock midpipe. I want to eliminate the stock mid pipe and was considering making a new mid pipe and was wondering if anyone else had done this. thanks

I can't imagine why this would be any different that picking up some 304 tubing (of the appropriate size) and having a muffler shop weld it in place...

The mid pipe has a bend in it so that it deviates vertically about an inch, maybe less. I got Juston of CMC to modify my Milltek midpipe with a HushPower resonator.
Any good exhaust shop should be able to fab one up, realizing that the central straps are fitted to this pipe section.
