I'm running a Stainless System on my GT, bought from PS Autoteile in Germany, see attached pic. It originally came with twim oval outlets but i prefer the original look.

The backbox is also restricted origainally for TUV, but to get round this you simply removed the sleeved oval pipes and drill out the restrictors.

I have to say that i've had quite a few problems with my system, 2.5" bore and a lowered GT means that it doesn't really do speed bumps very well.......in fact it's been known to scrap even when driving over a human hair

It's also very loud, which 12months ago was unbearable for my little boy, but now he's got the speed bug he doesn't seem afraid of me pulling 7k......on a private airfield of course.

BORLA used to make a system, but, I don't see it in the current catalog, so looks like it's up to fabrication......

I think the point of a stainless steel exhaust system is that it can be made much lighter for a given designed workload. The higher quality materials also tend to last a lot longer. Simply coating a standard mild steel exhaust system isn't going to do much in that department.

Looks very nice. I haven't lowered mine so clearance should be OK.
