Im looking to build me own catback system. Minus the gato. Ive been lookin around and see that its feesable with some mandrel bent tubing and lots of good welding. Can anyone give me tips on what diameter tubing to buy or anything else, like a really solid, not farty, not too loud but a little raspy, muffler? Also, when welding, what about the flanges, connecting to the headers from the pipe, do those need to be customized or retrofitted somehow? thanks

You guys should shop around a bit if you're not familiar with pipes and welding. Custom exhausts aren't that expensive (mine was done for 200 including a muffler)... if you're planning on going with mandrel bends... get under your car and start measuring where the bends are, and where you want the exhaust to go. Pre-bent pipes are fairly expensive and not planning will cause you to buy too much pipe... or too little. That... or spend a few thousand and buy a mandrel pipe bender... ;]
