How come your getting all these bends in the mail? Is it cheaper than going to an exhaust shop to get it bent and welded?
Yes...bends are about $12ea, and I dont put a dollar figure on my time when I do work on my car.

Also, I can shape it how I want, and spend the time getting it right.

Originally, I was just going to get a shop to do it, they took one look at how much room there was...and they didnt want a bar of it. Its really fiddly work, for most places its not worth their time, or they charge you quite a bit.

There also would have been the issue of how to get it to the shop, I would have needed to tow it there, or drive it with no exhaust for 30mins.

I was going to tack up something temporary to get it to the shop, then I thought, i'd be doing 3/4 of the work in doing that, I might as well just make it myself, apart from owning a stick rather than a MIG, the rest is relatively straight forward.
