I have heard bad things about SS auto chrome. It bothers me that they dont unwrap the exhaust in the pics, what are they not showing you. You could always buy 2.5" mandrel stainless from www.speedpartsrus.com and do it yourself, it would be less than buying one that may not fit and getting raped on shipping.
Looking at that pic I see four 45s and one 90, that comes to $81.50 with shipping from us. You will have to do a little work but you know it will fit. Any decent exhaust shop should be able to weld it up for you if you cant weld or dont want to get your hands dirty.

Listen to Custom Coach on this one, he knows what he is talking about, I checked on the OBX crap and its not 2.5 but 2 and 3/8 (Only an 1/8th off)

Get the bends and have it done at an exhaust shop, dont forget the resonator in the mid pipe

I had my 2.5 exhaust built for 100$, and will build the next one myself for less

I found a shop that can do 2.5 for 100 bucks if i bring in the muffler and cat that I want, is this going to cause problems on 7psi d15?

okay, screw this, i'm spending the weekend with my uncle a month from now, so I'm going to buy all of the parts needed to hang my own exhaust, I'm going to install the turbo with the wastegate disconnected and weld/mount the intercooler...

Disregard my other posts, here's my new question list:

What do I use for a resonator?
What parts to i get to seal the cat(orings and whatnot?)
If i mount the entire turbo assembly(with oil feed attached) and disconnect the wastegate, will i be able to drive around without damaging the turbo?
