hi guys... i'm waiting on shipment on a greddy PE exhaust, but its not catback... i wanna know if any of you have gotten custom piping done on your mufflers. I need a good muffler shop that'll do mandrel bends for my custom piping for a good price.

preferebly in the SGV/IE/OC area. how much did you pay for your custom piping with mandrel bends?

thanx

hey, i went to that guy, nice guy... he did it for 90 bux... cuz he had to do a few extra things... and no he didn't have mandrel bending machine

i got 2.25 piping, removed resonator, and got the muffler hung for that price, he had to put an extra falange w/gasket.

That seems very low for mandrel bending. Maybe you could post some pics of the bends.

i doubt it was mendrel bent, but its all good, i called many places and they all said they couldn't do it and that they'd have to order it, and the install would run up and around 300

might as well buy a full catback if you're spending that much.
