get the adapters made by a muffler shop. It's not anything unique.

pretty sure thats my game plan....dont mind paying the M3 TAX but not on these

... yeah, you can certainly find a muffler shop that can weld titanium or swag aluminum fittings to titanium.

If you recreate them in steel, realize that you'll need a funky flange, and some way of preventing galvanic corrosion so it doesn't get permanently stuck in, so either lots of copper anti seize and periodic disassembly and cleaning or something. You'll also need to figure out how not to make it too long so that it doesn't push the rear section out too much.

So in other words purchase the IND adapter. ..

A. I think you mean "swage" and not swag..

You're over thinking this. Again OP a qualified shop can recreate these no problem... I mean someone made them originally, no? Not everything is rocket science.

You all are thinking backward. The adapter for "any" xpipe to the akra rear is 80 bucks. The adapter for the akra xpipe to "any" rear is 400 bucks. I was going to purchase a used akra x pipe on here and use it with a different rear but then I found out how much the adapters cost and said nevermind
