For a few weeks now, I've been searching for parts to weld my exhaust. I have a 3" downpipe, and had planned getting the tubing from Kteller to make it myself. after a bunch of frustrating bulshit, I found I could buy the 3-piece "weld and assemble yourself" from them for about the same price. Which was about $250 including shipping. pretty cheap, huh? yeah sure. But wait, the boltup kit is only $50 more. $300 now. **** it, $250's way more than enough for a do-it-yourself job.

So are there any cheaper alternatives for pre-mandrel-bent Exhaust tubing? I really need to make my exhaust, because it's a pretty bigass ticket for noise pollution, epa ****, and having to deal with a ******-*** bully cop. Suggestions?
Thanks

They also have straights.I also went thru the Flowmaster website and found a muffler that was the right size.Good flow and sound without being loud and ricey.

There is also http://www.atpturbo.com which has turbo flanges and stuff as well as regular piping.

 

I buy my bends locally. I'm sure there's exhaust shops around your area that have mandrel benders. Call around and save on shipping costs

summit has free shipping.

 

i think i priced it out when i was building mine. and the costs were about the same. kteller v. XXX brand.

plus if you go with another brand it does involve a lot more work. kteller exhausts are nice and worth the money in my opinion.

 

Are you looking for just plain bends and material or are you looking for something made specifically for your car?

Either one.

 

Call me or IM me if you are looking for plain material. We are much cheaper than the competition and many h-t members are happy customers.

any local shop that actually has a mandrel bender will charge you close if not way more then we do.

pm me if you need some help, at least the items we sell are free flowing and fully mandrle. not weld it together bends and custs that you have to spend 2 days putting together.

we do have bolt up kits, basically your paying for our time and labor to have it welded here. or you can do it.
