Ok i cant find anyone who can do mendrel bent pipe. My question is if i get 2.5 inch piping crushed bent wouldnt that be equal to 2.25 mendrel. Also i think im just gona grab an inexpensive muffler on ebay, i seen some nice ones n1 style by tusdo. I am also not going to be running a cat, they keep breaking, anyone know where i can get a resonated test pipe. All and all im broke n im trying to stay under 300.00 installed.

I got my magnaflow catback for $275 shipped. It's 2.25 mandrel and stainless steel.

for a 98 civic hatchback ive read that the muffler is the type that has a cut tip like the tanabe racing Medallion. On the coups they have the n1 stye cnisters which i like even though it comes out streight, im more into getting the angled look, but apexi n1 cat back hangs too low, hks hiper is 500-600.00 and 5zigen is garbage which leaves only a custom job.

you can just order two 90 degree mandrel bent pieces off jcwhitney.com for $10 a piece, then take them to the muffler shop and have them fill in the rest of the piping and you will have a mandrel bent exhaust, except for the part that goes over the axle.

They have 2.25" and 2.5" pieces

The general rule of thumb is subract 1/2" from crush bent, and that will roughly equal how well it'll flow. So 3" crush bent will flow like a 2.5" mandrel bend and so on. It's not exactly scientific because some crush bends are done better than others and the crush bending might affect turbulence w/in the piping, but it's just a rough estimate. If you want to stay under $300, might try and buy a used cat-back from a fellow H-T member.

That doesn't include a muffler, but it's still a good deal. Get a cheap muffler and have someone weld everything. Should be around $300 if not a little under that, depending on the shop and what muffler you use.

I was actually thinking about selling my evo and getting a custom 3" crush with an es oval or something similar.
