    there's a company up here, litterally, 10 minutes from my house, that I just heard about that does custom mandrel ss exhausts. I'm going ot have them give me a quote for a system for my car, and was wondering, if they make a pattern for mine, would anyone else be remotely interested?

    If it is truly custom mandrel bent stainless steel...be prepared to spend big bucks. Up to $1000 for a complete exhaust system in stainless steel.

    I got the D/T headers on my car, which is why I need to get an exhaust made up. Craig, I'm figuring around a grand for 2.5" SS, dumped before the rear axle, but I need to bring my car to the shop to get an accurate estimate, figured I'd throw it out to those running the same headers, kind of a PSB

    Yeah, there is no reason to spend that kind of money, when you can get Aluminum Coated.

    Check and see what they have on the shelf. DT has been around for 40yrs. They may just have a set that only needs a little tweaking. What is your setup?

    I wasn't clear on this I guess, the company here, which I had no idea about is Borla East, part of Borla from what I understand, adn in joisey speed shops and true exhuast shops are few and far between, I check with most of the area custom shops and they only install .com systems onto cars, no real custom work. I have to go check them out, but if I'm gonna put an exhaust on my car, I want to do it once, whjich is why I'll be going SS over aluminized
