Default <<<Need Mandrel bent advice!>>>

I just bought a HKS Carbon Ti muffler. Obviously I want mandrel bent piping for this application. Lucky for me, there isn't a mandrel tubing exhaust shop within 150 miles So, I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how they solved it? I was thinking about buying mandrel bent u-pipe. Have my exhaust guy do work with fabricating it to the pipe where the bends are needed. I assume buying u-pipe would be the way to go since you can cut it in any angle needed, right?

Thanks fellas!

I guess that works. Or you could look at other single exhaust made for the Z and guesstimate what you would need.

Id reccomend a resonator too BTW. Vibrant makes good ones. Its alrdy going to be megaloud, without a resonator even more-so.

Honestly for all this trouble why didnt you just buy a used exhaust off the marketplace?

I'm definitely getting it resonated. Thanks for the brand recommendation. I really wanted the HKS carbon TI. I also got a nice deal on a new one. Didn't expect these problems.

^ a resonator wouldn't... I thought you meant like headers to muffler. But I now realize you meant from y-pipe back, run it straight pipe.
