Default Good Decent price exhaust setup?

Alright I know you can pick up a premade kit for for right around $400. What if I just took it to an exhaust shop and had them make the exhaust? Is the only plus Mandrel Bends? Also what is a good Muffler for a lower tone or a decent muffler and a resonator?

Most shops dont have mandrel benders as they ca cost upwards of $50,000 for one machine. They will all use standard 'crush' type benders, some are better than otehr at not reducing the tubing diamater in the bends.

I'd say a good combo would be, 2.25" tubing an 18" resonator, and a 14" or 18" 5x8 oval. Magnaflow sounds deep for their stuff. This shouldn't cost more than $275 custom bent and your local place. My local place would've done it for me using aluminized steel and MIG welds for $180, cat back but I dont think it had the bigger resonators. The longer the resonator, the quieter and less raspy and usually more deep it will sound.
