Default Exhaust Bends

I drive a EJ6 and I am wondering has anyone made there own exhaust? I am planning to order mandrel bent sections 3" and am wondering what angle bends I would need for this and how many. Any info would be good I am to damn lazy to pull my exhaust off and measure angles.

I just put on a cat on Sat I still have my old system I'll take a look and see what I can get...
As far as I can remember there are 2 bends at about a 120 degrees but that is just a guess... I'll bust out a protractor tonight...

I appreciate that. I didn't want to have to pull mine off to measure. and I will post all the specifics when I do the project.

My friend and I made his exhuast. It was about $500. Its stainless steel with mandrel bends, a flex pipe and a race exhaust clamp. It is the baddest exhaust I've seen. I know Im bias but that **** is dope.

Anyway, the bends we used were 2 15 degreee bends near the shifter area. 2 90's in the rear and another 2 15's to go around the suspension and into the muffler. The parts total was $400. Luckily we found someone willing weld it for us for less than $500. Make sure its really worth building it yourself, you may be proud of the final result, but it worth it to just pay $500 and get a turbo exhaust out of a box.

Thanks I appreciate your help. As far as price I am not concerned about that because the parts I can get cheap and the welds I can get free.
