Default Roll your own exhaust bits?

Gang,

I'm thinking about fabbing my own manifold-back exhaust setup. Anyone know where I could get some pre-bent pieces to make the job easier? I'm thinking specifically in terms of the front flanged bits to the cats, and the bends going over the axle. Rear tips would be nice as well.

Thanks!

Sounds like a lot of work. Well each to his own. Good Luck . Ebay would be a great place to check out OEM take-off sometimes go for as low as $ 50. There are good deals on tips as well. :seeya

Actually, I don't mind the work. I went through a number of setups on the last car looking for just the right thing. Relatively speaking, this car is much easier to work with.

To be honest, there are so many good choices out there I may well just go with one of those options. A good set of lt headers would be a part of that as well.

Thanks!
Dan
