Gibson exhaust discontinued for ST?

[blue83ranger]

About a year ago I bought my '04 ST and I've been searching for the best deal on a Gibson's stainless catback exhaust, part no. 619993. Then about a week ago I found a deal. An ebay dealer listed it for $307 or best offer so just to see what they would say I offered $285. and the "normal" price seems to be around $344 but I've seen it close to $500 and the lowest before that was $325. But the dealer did excepted my offer, which I was pretty surprised by. I was pretty excited about it but a few days ago they emailed me and cancelled the listing and refunded my money and said Gibson discontinued it. I emailed another dealer on ebay that had the same kit listed and Gibson themselves to see if that's true or not. So far I haven't heard back from either of them yet, Monday I should here something though. Has anyone heard of Gibson discontinuing their sport trac cat back? If they did and i'm not able to find a kit does anyone know where I could find just a tail pipe that's 2-1/2 and mandrel bent? I could handle making the rest. thanks

I'm making mine from the cat back. Cut the intermediate pipe as close to the rear cat flange open it up to 2.5" then running a flowmaster 40 single in and out then fixing the bent and kinked over the axle pipe and the exit is still in works.

I heard back. It's discontinued. They say they can make one more kit but it's $510 shipped. So, if anyone comes up with a mandrel bent 2-1/2 tail pipe I would be very interested in getting one.
