Thanks, but you didnt answer my question on where. Anyone else???

 

you're best bet is to call your local muffler shops in your area. ask if they do mandrel pipe bending.

 

^^+1 any muffler shop should be able to do that

 

local muffler shop did my Flowmasters

 

most shops can bend pipes, but few have a mandrel bending machine due to cost. mandrel bent pipes ensures that the diameter of the pipes stay the same when they are bent.

 

Thats funny cause I asked already and no one has the mandrel bend machine, Ive even called Titan Motorsports in Orlando and they dont know anything haha

 

where in FL are you located? There are a few ways this can be done. Either:

1. find a shop that does mandrel bends

2. have a fabrication or muffler shop use an assorment of pre-bent mandrel bent pipes (they come already bent in 90 or 45 degree angles) and piece and weld it

 

I found a local shop that can do #2 but its $200 for parts and labor than I have to supply the mufflers I want

 

if they are doing this from the primary cats all the way back thats a fair price. a pair of stainless magnaflow mufflers and tips are about $250-$300 from summit racing. so for about $500 you'll have a full cat back exhaust, which is half of what the LMS exhaust costs. if you get this done please post some sound clips and pics. good luck.

 

Its actually axle-back. I kinda think its expensive but thats just me.

 

Any recommendations on piping size anyone??? Im taking a guess 2.5

 

There is a much more informative thread on custom exhaust here.

 

I highly doubt you will get a full CATback exhaust for $500 bucks
