ok so i’ve called around and for the 2.4L its impossible to find a complete cat-back…cool. So my question is now: Where or Who would be the best bet for making a custom mandrel bent 2.5in stainless exhaust around here? I want quality, but at the same time, i cant be paying an arm and a leg for it either. ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > would it be best to give them a call and order the right bends or should i spec out what i need and order accordingly? i would jack your car up, put it on stands, and make a template of the stock exhaust out of cardboard…then measure what you need and order accordingly. ---

the bends from that place are very fairly priced. just try to get it all in one order, to cut down on shipping costs. the bad thing is you’ll never know exactly how much and what to get. i must have had at least 4-5 shipments from the so far for this build, at $15 a pop. at least the prices and selection are good. can’t go wrong for ~ $14 on average for a u-bend. but im using raw mild that will be coated ---
