just curious if anyone has used it.. i searched and found 2-3 threads but no one really lists the parts/dimensions.. i just wanted to see if i could take the easy way, if not then i will just have to throw my lazy *** under the car and make predictions myself (and yall know how that goes ) haha.

thanx

 

I built my whole exhaust out of jc whitney stainless bends, what exactly do you need to know?
If you get the stuff with the swaged ends , you can just slide one piece into the next and then weld it up.
God i wish the cost of the stainlees was as cheap as the stuff in the link you gave I sent 300.00 just in bends.

 

i want to know the bends for under an integra.. should i follow the old pipe, or should i find the path with the least bend..

thanx

 

It's called a Slatertake.

For an exhaust you will need 2 each 90's and 2 each 45's and two short straight sections from AutoZone or wherever. The JCW aluminized mild steel bends use a generous (5"?) radius while their stainless steel bends appear to be much tighter. I realize that JCW doesn't have a great reputation for quality but the mandrel bent tubing I bought was US made.

Butt welding the tubing will make for a better system if you can do it. A chop saw to cut the tubing works very nicely. Pick up some steel rod at your local hardware store to make OEM style hangers. Flat black BBQ paint works nice too<LOL>

Dave at SMSP has some nice mufflers and resonators as well as modified, ready to use Carsound cats. I used the longest resonator and the muffler with an internal bend to keep the noise down. He also has flanges and the bits and pieces to make stuff fit right.

Been there, done that. Btw hot pipes from welding will melt Mechanix gloves<LOL>

nice, thanx for the info.. would dave have complete systesm already made to sell?? im looking for 2.5"

thanx

 

Dave sells a complete system , but it isnt cheap.

 

hmm, thanx, ill talk to him and see what he has. im sure for the amount it is its probably better than getting my own pipes and welding them, and the time.

 

That is a Civic SI 99 i ordered in 3"

the avg. shipped price for 2.25/2.5/ or 3" runs 200-250 depending on car application and if you want stainless or aluminized.

 

From where?

 

 

You can order these through me .. see my sig..

Hey E Prep, you heard of anyone using an AEM bypass valve on anything other than an AEM CAI? That's a very cool idea you have there. I'm thinking about doing that myself, but I'd like the bypass valve too.

 

I have that setup with the 3" cat on my teg and love it. It's actually somewhat quiet (I can have a conversation in the car with the windows up).

 

 

I don't know the diameter of the bypass...
