I've got access to a good MIG, linisher, saw,
stands but not a hoist. I planned to follow the path of my current 2.25
inch exhaust as close as possible. I haven't done a lot of welding so I
was planning just to tack the whole lot together and have my Dad (who has done
heaps of welding in his time) neatly weld the whole thing together. What sort of
muffler do you recommend at a reasonable price?

Subject: Re: Mandrel Bent Exhausts
Daniel, we can supply u with bends if u need
them. We have 20,30,45,90 (few others aswell) stainless 3" bends in
stock. There not too expenisive at all i dont think. Your going to
have to get the system spot on otherwise u will scrape the crap out of
it!! I wouldnt attempt it unless i had all the equipment needed
tho. Have u done much welding? Do u have access to a hoist? Do u have a
bench saw? Linisher? Stands? Another thing with mandrel systems, you never
really know what degree of bend u need until your up to that point so its hard
to say exactly how many bends of what kind u need. Its alot harder than press
bend systems! The Walker cat is ok i guess but NO muffler? That will be damn
loud i tell ya! I would put a small muffler in just to keep it down a
bit. I can understand why u would want to do it yourself, we charge
around the $1100 to $1700 mark for full 3" stainless systems!! Nearly the cost
of the Z18et itself!!! Hope this helps u.

List,
I'm looking at the possibility of making my own
3 inch mandrel bent exhaust when I drop in my Z18et. I plan to
use only a 3 inch hi flow Walker cat and no muffler. I know that the
whole exhaust is welded together rather than press bent and fitted but do I
buy the pipe and get it bent myself (which seems that it would just be the
same as a press bent exhaust) or can I buy pre bent 3 inch pipe
sections? Any tips on building my exhaust system?
