Default Square Truck Exhaust

I am looking for a pre-bent system for my truck (1985 SWB 350/turbo350). I want 2.5" duals that bolt to long tube headers and exit behind the rear wheels on both sides. Anyone know a company that makes it? The closest I have found is a 2.25" kit that bolts to manifolds-made by heart throb. I don't want to take it to a muffler shop-we don't have any worth a flip around here. I am too lazy to make it myself, I may get over that if I can't find something.

I don't like the guy here in town. The only system I found was 2.25, so I guess it's either me or the muffler shop.

I saw that before I made this post.....they only show a listing for a k1500. I don't know if it will fit on a c1500. I guess the only difference is the crossmember and t-case. I called the tech line at Thrush and the idiot said it would not fit, and would not give a specific reason- I don't think he knew. I was thinking about trying it, but didn't want to get stuck with it if it didn't fit.

There shouldn't be any reason for it not fitting, actually I think it should fit tighter. Its going to go up and over the x member if its 4x4 bent. So say it "doesn't" fit, you have an exhaust shop bend the passengers side. I bet it works, its the same basic frame man. Try the Summit call line, they may be more knowledgable. Or ask for a supervisor at Thrush. I was in the Dynomax trailer at Power Tour, I wish I had asked them about that! ARG!!
