Default People who have fabricated their downpipe. (Need Answer ASAP)

Would 6ft of SS piping be enough for a downpipe for a D-series, log mani, T3 turbo setup?

Just need a rough estimate on how many ft you used or how many ft would you suggest. etc.

I need this answer ASAP

Yeah i am gonna use a flex. So 4ft of straight pipe with a flex? I am using no bends. I am planning to get everything bent at the exhaust shop.

If its a small shop than I highly doubt they paid the $60,000 for a mandrel pipe bender

wow. I didn't know that. You just saved me from buying some useless straight pipe. So what would be good for me to buy? A U-bend, and a 2ft section of straight pipe? Where could i get a SS U-Bend?
