Good call on the two U-bends. That works out perfect.

Basically you need 360 degrees of bends to make an exhaust for most honda's (EG, DC, EK)

Cut one of the 180s in half. That covers the two 90 bends. The other 180 will be cut into a 90 (from the middle) and two 45s. That covers the hump.

I think you might need 3 if you plan on making a downpipe also. I think jcwhitney is cheaper than summit. good luck

Why did you need so much straight piping? You probably had hella left over

Why not just get a piping kit from Kteller? All it needs is to be welded in place. It's about $200 and top notch quality. Anyways, you will need about 4-5 90 bends (depends how u cut them) and about 8 feet of piping

well i could just buy two u bends for like $45 shipped then buy a magnaflow 3" for $75 and i already have the straight, so it would actually be much cheaper to not go that route.
