Question No more 2into1

Reviving this old thread.

I'm finally in the market for a 2 into 1 side exhaust for my 2007 XTX. The original headers are quite banged up as I have used them as a skid plate thus the requirement for a side exhaust system.
Have been browsing around the net and it looks like I'm out of luck.

Investigation this far:
* MTC - The only pictures of the 2 into 1 I could find indicate that the headers go below the engine and not from the side
* Creptus - They look damn good from the pictures BUT I'm unable to get in contact with them. No replay to emails. i suspect they went out of business
* Metal Mule (made by Scorpion) - Out of stock. MM claims that Scorpion " threw" the jig away. No info if they'll do a second run. Scorpion wasn't very helpful in this matter, but I'll try pestering them again
* OTR - The headers are too expensive for me plus I require getting the slip-on. Some forum posts claim that the headers aren't very well made and don't have any heat shield
* Akrapovic - Out of my budget
* Huzar - Ugly as hell. I'm afraid the headers require additional heat shielding as they seem to get very close to some components
* Dominator - Looks better than Huzar but one of the header pipes comes very low. This looks to be because the O2 sensor pung placement. This in-turn will probably interfering with a low profile skid plate like the one from MM or OTR
* Some other forum posts claim that there are some companies in Brazil that also fabricate a side exhaust. No luck in finding them and I can't read Portuguese
* I know a guy who can weld, maybe get some Raptor quad headers and modfy them, but currently I don't want to go this rout

I need the additional clearance the 2 into 1 system gives me.
Any suggestions o'mighty forum?
