Dual Exhaust System for '75 el Camino

I think Scott works off of original bend cards and and not customized systems to accommodate headers, different bends, etc.  I honestly don't know how you're going to get someone to fab something like this without having the car in front of them to verify measurements and fitment.  For what it's worth, there is no difference in the underside of the car between '74 & '75...so, a stock dual exhaust layout for a '74 would fit the same as on a '75 (with the addition of the dual hump crossmember).

When I had mine done, it was all time and materials. Any custom shop that does hot rods, trucks, street machines should be able and willing to do the work for you.  

Good luck.

 I didn't get into using that system because I wanted all stainless steel on my '75 Elco.

I ended up with Borla mufflers, and sections of stainless pipe, some bends, an H pipe etc, and tail pipes for a '72, which I had to modify to fit like I wanted.  My engine doesn't have headers, no room to use them on a Caddy 500.....
