i went to a local performance shop here in ga to get a quote on custom 2.5" mendrel bent bpipe to go along with my powertech muffler.
the guy quoted me $250.00 for everything

$250.00 does not include muffler, which i already bought last week

 

Thats about right. I was quoted the same on a mandrel bent one.

If you want, just order the mandrel bent one from WarpspeedPerformance.com it is somewhere near $175

Dixit

 

I got my crush bent custom b-pipe for $100 only!!! and also i got a
3A racing dual tips muffler for $60 only... i gave them my older muffler but still the $60 is a great price!!!

 

Your muffler sells for 100 bucks and up on the Org, that wasnt a smart move....

 

Crush bent piping???

 

I didn't pay for the installation... so $60 for everything i think is
great!

 

Exactly. If you're doing crush bent, just stay stock...Its useless....

 

"Exactly"...Your still where you started. More like just a waste of $$$ for the same thing.

 

Yes but is bigger pipe...

 

You are correct, but the crushes in the bends defeats the purpose, which is not size, but rather a free flowing exaust channel. You would be better off with a 2 inch mandrel bent , than a 3 inch crush bent. Crushes == turbulence in the exhaust.

 

But it's still "crush bent"= minimal exhaust flow. If I were you I would of have got a bigger piping diameter(2.25 or 2.5) with mandrel bent piping from the cat all the way to the muffler.

 

You think thats why my previous muffler has a bad sound?

 

 

Not necessarily, but could affect the sound...

 

Look i dont know what you say... but i trust this guy so much... he knows his job very well...

 

Well. Im speaking from experience having owned 2 heavily modded V8's previously...As long as you're happy, thats all that really matters !
