Problem routing exhaust piping past transmission crossmember.(pics)

[Lil Ape]

I'm running into a problem installing my muffler and exhaust piping onto the truck. Basically, on the driver side only, the piping hits the transmission crossmember, not allowing everything to bolt and clamp together. As you can see in the pics, everything gets angled down. Truck has hooker long tube headers and plan is to run 2.5" exhaust. Have collector reducers, race bullet mufflers and turn downs. all in 2.5. Pics are just an example of the problem i'm having, not how i obviously plan on running the exhaust.


Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? Is there a perticular piece of bent pipe I could use to get the exhaust to clear under the crossmember? Or maybe there are better headers out there that hang low enough to clear the crossmember? or get a all new transmission crossmember?

Also what about full exhaust kits like the ones linked below? A full exhaust was my original plan, but had decided on more of a hot rod style by just dumping it right past the cab.
