Got my exhaust today. Awesome deal on mandrel bent setups.
Just got my exhaust today from Kteller8. You can check out his site http://www.accordinglydone.com...9d42f . My setup consists of full 2.5" mandrel bent tubing, Magnaflow Oval ES style 2.5"in/ex strait through muffler, and a 22in Magnaflow resonator (strait through design as well). He includes all of the nessecary hangers and flanges with the setup. It looks absolutely great. The exhaust connects using slip flits (piping is flared so they slide togther), and slides together VERY tightly, which means it will seal very well. This means I will most likely just use the provided clamps in case I ever have to remove the exhaust.
The total for this setup was only $325 shipped!!
You can go with all SS if you choose which will up the price slightly. He also sells test pipes, different sized resonators, car sound cats, and your choice of mufflers. I plan on using the extra piping after my resonator is welded in for a test pipe.
Highly recommended. Once I get it on the car I'll let you guys know how it sounds.
Edit: Put in a more precise link.

What evidence do you have to back this claim up?

maybe not $900 but twice as much as what this guy paid for basically the same thing.

all. No offense to anyone, but unless there was some real testing between the two his statement is not exactly true. It's his opinion, and that's fine, but it's not a fact unless proven no?

yes, but the statement itself was vague.. 'flows just as well'.. i can say that about my stock exhaust, no exhaust, whatever.. stick some numbers on there so it can be quantified.. but who cares if it flows well, there are other factors: does it make power (possibly related to flow), weight, cost, noise, etc... so in the end, it's all just opinion.. but what do i know i drive a civic with an exhaust that flows too much noise..

What welding is required for install? Are the hangars attached to the piping when you receive it? (The pic shows them detatched)

Definitely please let us know how it sounds, as far as noise level is concerned.
I'd want something that is almost as quiet as a mugen system.

welding could cost $200-350, ss piping ($190), 22" ss resonator ($40), muffler ($100),
add it all together and smsp exhaust will be about the same price, nothing crazy about that. with smsp you get a bolt on exhaust, in mid $700's is a good price compared to other bolt-on exhausts. Custom exhaust is only good as it was put together.
