I am about to buy my 3sgte, but I am not sure what to do for an exhaust. Is is possible to just go to a muffler shop and have them bend some pipes and fit it up or is it better to buy a cat-back exhaust? All of the cat's are like $500! Wouldn't it be cheaper to go to a muffler shop?

what i did was buy 3 180 degree 3" mandrel bends from jcwhitney and take them to the shop along with a downpipe flange and have them cut and weld it.
it cost polly 600 bucks total in cluding labor and all parts or you can have dg_performance make you won, i think his are in the 400 range withotu shipping? |

The swap I just finished went into a shop that has a tig welder for a full mandrel-bent, stainless, tig-welded 3" exhaust with a magnaflow resonator and muffler. It's absolutely beautiful, and sounds perfect. But that's a very expensive job. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
