I just recently got a 2006 ford mustang gt and I currently have a borla s type catback exhaust on it and I noticed that no one is selling off road x pipes, specifically aluminized steel ones. Is there any way I'd be able to purchase one or find any?
Edit: Found one that seems basically perfect - LAR performance off road x pipe aluminized steel, would it require a tune?

No tune required. Nobody sells them anymore due to the EPA crackdown. LAR is very hit or miss with quality. They are also doing business under multiple names.

You will get a MIL for catalyst efficiency below threshold. As far as I know, no reputable tuner will supply a tune with the rear O2 sensors turned off anymore so you're stuck with workaround solutions.
There is effectively no power to be gained by going catless on these cars so why bother? There are far better places to spend your mod dollars.

Mainly getting it for the sound, not for performance

That's fine but most tunes won't like the rear O2 sensors expecting normal values with no cats to actually hit them. The trick back in the day, and I'm pretty sure my car still has them in there, was to stack spark plug spacers in there and push the sensor out of the exhaust flow enough to trick them.

My factory x-pipe was located after the cats. So it had no effect on the tune.
