Default Building 3" integra exhaust, need help

Hey I'm looking to get a mandrel bent 3" exhaust for my 00 integra. Anyone have any experience with http://mandrel-bends.com/? I don't know what diameter and size to get for my exhaust, and also don't know what bends I need...I need everything from the cat to the axleback (I have a muffler). Can someone direct me in which parts I'll need to do this?

^this
its cheaper and if you're having to post this topic, then you really shouldn't be trying to guess on what bends you need and such... theres a lot of work in measuring, cutting the right bend at the right angle, fitment, etc.

kteller is much easier

Vrs is cheaper and has all fittings, flanges and hardware.

^how well does your exhaust fit the car as far as the tunnel? I'm so low I need to tuck my exhaust as far up in the tunnel as possible for ground clearance... how low does your exhaust hang from the car?

my main concern is under the oil pan for me, since my front lip is literally half an inch off the ground lol

clean! yours came with a resonator too? I decided to go with the kteller 3" piping and gonna fit it into a 2.5" vibrant. Before anyone flames me it's going to be for turbo and i'm going to switch to a 3" muffler once I get all my **** together

there really is no point in doing a muffler twice...
you'll have to cut, re-weld, etc.. and cleaning the piping once exhaust has been run through it is a total bitch... which makes re-welding a total pain.

do it once
