5th Gen exhaust compatibility

[iamtylerdurden]

I'm searching for replacement down pipes for my 99. I havn't really had any luck. I just need the pipes coming from the heads, don't need the muffler. What years also fit besides the 98-01? Also, does anybody have a set or know when i can get a set? The OEM pice is over $400 and i'm already about $300 over budget so a used set for around $100-150 would b good. Thanks for all the help guys....or girls.

i guess that's the other part of my question. Which pipes are compatible with the 5th gen? I found a few for the 6th gen but wanted to ask you guys before i bought them. I need the whole system except the muffler which i'm keeping. just need to replace my bent pipes. Which poses another question. The back pipes are fine but my front pipes got bent off the head (head isn't cracked). If worse comes to worse can i find the front pipes only and just have the shop weld them back on or just replace all the way up to the muffler?
