Default aluminum exhaust

I'm going to be doing a 4" aluminum exhaust on my crx drag car this season and was wondering about bends. did people buy prebent parts or just have a shop bend them for you after you figure out the bends you need? and what about mufflers? does everyone just v-band a stainless one on?

sweet, i actually found the piping at a scrap metal yard for $2 per lb. got roughly 35 ft for $75. gonna do a couple cars now. as for bends, my car will only have 2 slight offsets, so we are gonna do pie cuts on it. wish us luck
