Default I found them at summit. [more]

Does anyone make them in stainless steel? I don't want to be replacing these pipes a lot. I don't live near salt so if I cant find stainless how long should these last.

What's the best way to determine what I will need as far as what bends to buy for my FWD 90 ?

Planning on going with a mandrel bent setup with the income tax ) Y pipe to a random cat stock Audi resonator and not sure on muffler choice yet. All 2.5. Hoping to get it all around a flow rating of 600cfm.

Thanks, Thomas

Default The guy I bought mine from may be able to get you stainless. Look around on ebay

I think I remember seeing stainless on there. Just get several u-bends. Your exhaust shop will piece them together as needed. Take a look at the pics of my exhaust. I bought 2 U-bends for mine.

Default Thanks both of you!.. Wow never knew you had a mandrel bent setup Mike..

Yes I have seen it plenty of times. Thank you for that though because now I know what I will need without taking a look my self under the car. I will also be running a single pipe setup So I will need a few more bends up front and a Y pipe much closer.

Thanks, Thomas

Are you planning on a single CAT system?
