Do you seriously think that is the only way a custom pipe is made??? I have a full custom exhaust on mine which was mandrel bent and I have the pictures to prove it. Rather than flame without getting a real idea first why don't you ask? Geesh.

I am waiting for the non-musical version of the video before I watch at all to try and provide positive feedback. Personally I would look into a nice magnaflow universal muffler and a nice tip. I also have never cared for the big burnt tip mufflers, but it is your ride and if you like it then that is all that matters...not the forum folks.

because there is only about 10 shops in the whole US that have mandrel benders that take in street work. (there is more shops but they are production shops for large companies)

I know i came off a little harsh, but i don't sugarcoat anything. Gonna put stuff up public for opinions...then you get them.

You obviously have no earthly clue what you are talking about. I moved back home to the middle of nowhere in northern Maine and we have 3 shops that mandrel bend within 50 miles. I have been to each and used each for different vehicle I have owned (59 Chevy Apache pickup, 66 Mustang coupe, and 60 Pontiac Bonneville). Soooo...by your logic that means there are 7 remaining in the rest of Maine and the other 49 States.

Also, as Cali said...there is a difference between keeping it real and being a douche and well you definitely came off as the later.
