Angry Hooker LT Exhaust problems~! HELP~!

I just installed the Jet Hot Hooker LT's on sat...they are still open header. I took it up to the muffler shop this morning to see about some custom exhaust put on. While it was on the lift the tech told me he couldnt see how the exhaust would fit up. My collectors coming off the headers are about 4 inches from the crossmember on the driver side. He said there would be no room for another collector. Anyone have any pics of Hooker LT's with exhaust i could maybe use to help them fabricate something. I know they are a lot longer than the LS1 Long Tubes, a buddy of mine has them. But also i know 3 other LT1's with the LT's and exhaust...PICS PLEASE

Here are pics of my true duals off Hooker LTs.

I had to relocate the fuel and brake lines further up in the driveshaft tunnel.

Bottom line: If this mechanic doesn't know how to make a Y-pipe and catback, go to another shop.

What kind of setup are you trying to run?

A 3" Y-pipe should bolt up to the Hookers with little problem.

the problem i am having is that the crossmember that hold the tranny mount is about 3- 4 inches from the collector on the driver side and there is no room to bolt up a 3" pipe

Do a search for a member named javier.I know he has pics on his site.The y pipe is going to have to angle down and then up on the other side of the crossmember.
