I have not been able to find one. I was ordering parts to make it. Unless someone makes them but doesn’t market it.

I saved the first three feet of the exhaust mine was attached to. I scrapped the rest. Rear muffler rattled something awful.

So, at least I have something I can use as a template when I find an exhaust builder.

Not to insulate a dumb question but is this for a 16v not in your signature?

Kevin,Try contacting these guys Baun Performance LLC they are just up the road in Charlotte and do custom work, I saw a video on a system he made for a 928 that looked really good. My car, you have seen it, has tube headers from the PO, and the rest of the system is poorly done. I hope to get up and see about him building me a system.

I recall such a part was tricky for anyone to make since the MSDS headers can vary slightly making a good fit questionable. This thread comes to mind:

If it were me I'd find a local fab shop and use a quality X from a place like Burns Stainless:

Yeah, the whole 928 Motorsports fiasco...

I have a set of Devek 2 headers and the MSDS that I want to X pipes for them and clearly they will be custom made. The Burns Stainless is a great start.

I thought about the accordion on the Y pipe above. Is it meant to address differences in fitment?

Another idea is find an "off the shelf" X-Pipe for another V8:

The bellows is to attenuate vibration and a "little" bit of install adjustment.
Too much adjustment and the convolutions will bind and crack the thin material.
