Does the 3" OR X-pipe step down to the 2.75" diameter to match the stock mid-pipe?

Or is it a full 3" with the mid-pipes needing to be changed to 3" also?

Never mind J, I talked to the guys at ARH. Yours more then likely step down to the stock 2.75" diameter mid pipe. It looks as if I'll be taking the car to them once the engine is in the car to fab up a set of headers for what I want.

Sorry Nick, just cleared some PM space, yes they should work on a 2012.
I'll get a Part Number tomorrow from the box, but should be the same as the Shelby American link.
Kurt--no worries but I believe they are full 3" X-pipe that is reduced at the end to 2.75" to match the factory over axle pipes. That should be easily remedied by cutting off the 2.75" reducer if you have 3" pipes.
Thanks for the interest.

The recommendations after talking to ARH is that I should use a 2" LT with 3.5" collectors into a 3.5" X-pipe that reduces to a 3" over the axle mid-pipe. With my engine and transmission both being lowered 1/2" ARH feels that I'm going to have issues with contacting the steering shaft or body of the car with the headers. Plus with the additional clearance problems created by my CorteX Racing Torque Arm they feel that I should bring the car to them without any exhaust system on the car and they will build it to fit, while also modifying my Corsa mufflers to accept a 3" connection joint. The Corsa muffler actually has a 3" inlet, outlet and through pipe diameter, but reduces in size of the piping at the over axle connection to the sock 2.75". So they feel it would be very simple to modify the mufflers to work with their 3" over axle piping.

Thanks for all the PMs, I had moved these to my storage unit while our polebarn is being built, I'll get a pic up this weekend.
Did figure out the early and late GT500s differ based on reduction for the stock over axle pipes, '07-10 neck to 2.5", '11-14 is 2.75".
So, you could make these work on an early GT500.
No payments yet so PM if interested, thanks.

Good idea for custom if you can swing it, like I took mine to SW.
They are 3.5" collector to 3.5-3" X-pipe with a 2.75 connector for factory over axle pipes. That 2.75 reduction can be cut off if you have 3" pipes.
So, can make these work with most applications.
Good luck Kurt, can't wait to see you finally enjoy it.

Sorry, again these are ARH 2" primaries with 3" collector with 3" catless X-pipe that has 2.75" merge to bolt to stock exhaust.

I do have 3" quality stainless cats to weld in if anyone interested. Low mile take offs from my Stainless Works system.

These are the real deal Super Snake upgrade over standard SS for the 850 and 1000hp+ packages.
Anyway, no BS here:

Pics make box look worse than it is but will be reinforced well and fully insured.
Last pic shows box top opened but I don't want to take them out if possible.
Thanks, J

I want billet oil pump gears and a rebuilt engine :)

LOL

Now I think that was a funny response. Now if you could only get all of that with an even swap..........that would be a wonderful day and reason to celebrate to excess

Glad to see you got them sold J
