WTK - custom piping place

Want to Know

anyone know the cheapest and best place to get a custom piping job around here (2.25" would be great)? I might settle with the full cat magnaflow on GB...but i've heard some custom piping and a good muffler and they sound decent. They're much cheaper than buying the fullcat right?

thanks

I was really confused on what i should do..but the custom pipe sounds promising

well, imho, i think it is just the name that people buy...but the difference between a full cat back system, and custom piping, is mainly the bends.in a full system, the piping is mandrel bent. while with custom piping, u get crush bent...with crush bent, u get a lil more restriction, but it doesnt really matter THAT much, unless your running turbo or s/c, etc...But it saves u ALOT of money, and also, u can get mandrel bends from the shop for about 15 bucks a bend i believe. i would stil go custom over buying a full system.
