I ordered a Carsound universal high flow cat from VRSexhaust.com and had them weld on the necessary 3 and 2-bolt flanges on each end. Welding was quality and they even painted over where they welded.... it took 3 days from the day I ordered to recieve and they only added $10 to weld on the flanges. There website is cheesy but the one experience I had with them was a good one.

Re: Kteller opinions?

ordered my 3 inch KTeller SS catback piping kit and 3 to 2.5 testpipe came out to 332 shipped/

Re: Kteller opinions?

I used there 3 inch mandrel exhaust on my del sol, good price, and great service. Also buy all my U bends from him...never had a problem.

or are you gonna cut up 180 bends... bah.
any cheaper and will not make acceptable profit for your time.

Cheaper is possible, thats why I'm going to be doing it.
Profit isnt always a concern when you're trying to get you're name out for quality products.
That's why you arent trying to sell your manifolds for the price of Full-Race even though they are easily comparable in quality.

The reason it looks easy to make is that its NOT a mandrel bender. ::)

A true mandrel bender has an insert that is pulled through the pipe while its bent to keep the pipe from distorting. A mandrell bender with a set of dies will cost about $100,000. Now you know why nobody has there own ;)

Re: Kteller opinions?

----, i'm about to drop around 600-700 bucks on them in a few weeks.. me want lots of stuff :y

Wrong!

The design in the picture fully supports the pipe wall so that crush distortion is eliminated or kept to a minimum. For tight radius bends, you just pack the pipe with sand to prevent collapsing or deformation.

If you wanted to buy a manual unit, $450 plus $75-250/size for the shoes and dies.
