Anyone seen an off road pipe for these things? I know the ground clearance isn't much, but putting the muffler up higher would let me take some of the trails around here w/ less worry ...

No such pipe is being marketed and likely never will until they change the Blasts design.

Several racers use them, but they are custom made.

contact the guys at Mac designs, they have a high pipe for the Blast. Your issue will be the motor mount supports that the current pipe does. A sawzall and cut it into a bash plate ought to get it done.
Keep us all posted with pics.
I was gonna off road a blast since they killed the dirty bike, but ended up with a CRF instead.

I dont believe the people at MAC are in the business of selling parts. You can search the flat trackers and see what they use or who they get their pipes from. You could also use half a system from the 'flat tracker' twins which is available. (such as Storz)
I'm sure anything available will be in the $300+ range and custom might be the way to go.
A problem you'll run into is how to keep the exhaust together as its waving around the back end of the bike. Racing it isnt much of an issue, but regular street use tends to beat up the exhaust.
Also look for used flat track stuff.
