it costs money to buy the mandrel bends then weld them together as needed.
stop bitching or go get your name brand exhaust. they're not gonna whore the labor it takes to make a custom exhaust. if you asked for a custom exhaust where mandrel bends are not used, it woulda been cheaper. and probably flowed just as well. you dont need a mandrel bent setup for a beginner 4 cylinder setup.
so call millennium back, ask for 2.5 crush bent. when it gets bent, it goes down to 2.25. i know cuz i've measured.

Devil, I don't think you grasp what Greaser is saying. He's one of the top 5 fastest people on this board and he builds his own shit. I'd listen when he talks if I was you. Oh and if you want a cheap catback, go to mieneke.
