Help Me Pick My 3" Exhaust....
Dont come on here and say every custom exhaust is junk
. Exhaust welds look good though, and I can see a lot of time was invested. A lot of people do not realize the time it takes, the time you put into that exhaust if I were to guess would be 6-10 hours???? So for a regullar customer, the labor alone would be 500-900 about. Plus the cost of parts (all look SS). For somebody who can do their own exhaust, sure you can get nice parts and do it yourself, it ends up cheaper. For the rest, well there are now 3 companies who have already done the hard work.
You are not understanding what I am trying to say my friend, A custom exhaust can be nice but it won't be $400.
The ones that do go custom, do so because they are trying to save $$$. You get what you paid for.
For people like Bdis3, he can get all the components and do it himself, that is different.
Heck I have a custom exhaust, I made it. But it was because I had no choice, who makes a 3" exhaust for an xA?

i'm pretty sure it was 400 and some change. and it looks flawless. so again custom route. i can bet my life that i put on ptuning exhaust and a custom 3" mandrel bend exhaust and it will probably 1-2whp difference. but hey to there own. i know what route i am going and everyone has there own choices. so far my choices have been good.
The PTuning version 2 looks sweet but the price tag can definitely turn some away. If you can swing it, go for it. If not, a custom setup can be a little cheaper but it's going to take some research and patience to find a place that'll do one right.
whats the approximate difference in power between mandrel bent and non-mandrel bent exhaust systems ?
the reason why i'm asking is because i have custom 3 inch exhaust with magnaflow muffler and i absolutely love the sound of it, but its not mandrel bent because when i was making it there was not a single place in San Angelo, TX that is able to mandrel bent pipes so i had to use regular bender.
