Default My New Exhaust

Got my exhaust done at some shop by some guy. Cost $300, which is kind of expensive, but I'm sure it's cheaper than companies charge for a turbo back exhaust right? 2.5 inch straight pipe, no resonator, no cat, no nothing. And I don't have emissions so I guess i'll pass no problem The car is so much quieter now, which is nice when I am going through neighborhoods but maybe I wish it opened up a little more when I get on it. Going to install my o2 sensor again if it stops raining. I don't think it effected spool too much, I haven't noticed anything, anyway, on with the pics.

Looks to me as if you're having a leak.
At the mani or at the downpipe.

Those carbon spots are old, leaks are all fixed now

I was thinking of doing that, but i wanted to know if i kept a resonator on which would be a better setup? And no i'm not worried about emission testing i know how to slip by that .

What material did they use? Doesn't look stainless. Did you at least get aluminized? Did they have the mandrels in stock or did they bend them?

Those bends dont look like manderals.They look like they were made at the shop.

Yeah, it's hard to tell. I just assumed they're mandrels because if not, he would (should) have gone with 2.75" to make up for it with crush bends.

Yeah, bent at the shop, no places are really pinched though, even the downpipe pic has a nice sloping curve.
