Go to diamond muffler and buy 90 and 45 degree mandrel mild steel bends in 3" You will need about 4 of each to be on the safe side. They are 13-15$ a bend. Then get 6 feet of 3" straight pipe. Should cost you no more then 150 in material. You can get someone to weld it up for $100 to $150. Total cost about $300 for a custom true mandrel exhaust.

I know of a very good welder that can do it for ya...mig or tig whatever you prefer.


If you want polished 304 stainless it will be more $$. For that you would go to Hajoca off bells road. Its about $25 dollars a bend and you can only tig weld that......still alot cheaper then burns stainless.

But whatever you do spend a little more money on mandrel then that garbage crush bent stuff on a turbo car might as well just stay stock and save your $$ then going crush bent. Its all bout flow on a turbo car....both on the intake and exhaust side.....especially on the exhaust side
