D/P without beating firewall?

Anyone know of an aftermarket downpipe that doesn't require beating the firewall to make it fit? I would like to go to a 3.5" with a 4" outlet, but it there's a 4" that requires no beating that would be better. Not planning on tractor pulls or anything, but mainly wanting to eliminate the pancake pipe before I get a tuner or chip. Thanks.

With your year I would count on it. I bought a 3" to 3.5" from Motorhaven it was a two peice deal and did very minimal beating to the firewall.
