As you've probably seen there have been a lot of topics poping up lately about making your own exhuast as an alternative to expensive JDM cat-backs. One thing I've heard about places that mandrel bend piping, is that custom one-off pieces will cost you more than the price per piece of say 10 pieces.
My idea is to put together a group buy of just the piping, and you could add whatever muffler you want. There are a lot of variables, so if this interests you any post some feedback on the following issues:
Resonator: yay or nay, probably would cost 30 bucks extra
Material: Stainless would obviously cost more but would it be worth it to you? As opposed to aluminized steel.
Pipe size: I'm hoping an exhaust place would let you specify a pipe size keeping it within the same group order. If not we'd probably go with 2.5 inches, but if I can get them to be flexable it would be a good exhaust for turbo and NA.
If theres significant interest in this I'll try to get some prices from places and see if the options listed above can be specified individually or will we have to make a definitive decission.
