heat exchange rear crossover tubing needed

Below is a pic of my Fabspeed headers w/ heat on my car missing the crossover heat piping.
Fabspeed apparently doesn't make a crossover heat pipe for the 3.2 Carreras (had I known this BEFORE buying it, I wouldn't have bought their exhaust)

Sooooo.... I'm stuck with this for now and need to find a way to get some heat into my car.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Anyone on here able to fabricate something for me out of silicone tubing, stainless steel, aluminum, etc...?

Then you have to beat it all out of proportion to get it to fit up and I don't believe I could get muffler clamps on it.

I hear ya. I bought ssi/dansk for my 3.2 the fit was a disaster. I don't think you should have to adapt anything for what they charge for this stuff.

Not sure of the dimensions you'll need but...

I'd take it to a good muffler / exhaust shop in your local area and have them bend up a pipe for you. Then get the couplers you need in silicone or whatever. You should be able to just drive the car over without heat tubing hooked up right?

I've been driving it without heat hooked up this summer... but as the fall weather approaches, I'll probably need some heat before I put it up for the winter.

I have the silicone tubing that Fabspeed sent me... but their recommendation is to cut it up to make it fit. I'd rather just have a 1 piece system.
Hopefully someone on here has some fabrication skills that they can use for me to make some extra money!! $$$

Would love to help you out on this but really need the car here to do it correctly.. Or at the very least a scabbed together mock up..
