Does anyone know of any local/twin cities exhaust shops that are capable of doing 3" mandrel bends? Thanks

Heartthrob exhaust. Might cost you $1000 and take 8 weeks though. Otherwise just buy an exhaust like everyone else, custom usually means more $$$.

The only reason I am concidering custom exhaust is that there are no exhausts out there that I actually like that are relativly inexpensive. The problem with the cheapest exhausts is that there are some fitment and shipping issues (RNR and AHP). I was also thinking about getting the Magnaflow muffler with the dual tips to keep that sleeper look but, from what ive seen, AHP is the only place that sells only the piping for a cat-back. Well, the good thing is that I have a few more months to think about this. Anyone have some more advice for me?

Buy some 3" mandrel bends. Take them to QPR with your choice of muffer, flex section and flanges. Have Mike weld it together for you.

That would work.

We have a pretty decent supplier for SS now other than Heart Throb so we could probably get some good deals on the piping for you as well. If your into the v-bands etc, we can get that stuff also.

I know AHP has made some kits with that dual-tip Magnaflow muffler if you are interested. If you do go through AHP, I recomend you just drive out there and have him install it. The idea involving QPR is also a good one, Mike deffinately does some clean work.

My 2g has dual highflow magnaflows on it and I like the look and sound of it.

Are two better than one?

when you're talking about nuts.... usually two is better....

mufflers... it's all in your own opinion.... some cars look nice some look shitty....

and i'm not really sure about any performance gains vs. a straight pipe...
