good luck finding a shop that will do a 3" 304 stainless exhaust with mandrel bends! and if you do happen to find one, good luck paying less than $1350 to have the exhaust custom fabbed. ****, good luck paying less than $2000 to have that type of custom work done with 3" 304 stainless. Less than 1% of exhaust shops have a mandrel bender, mandrel benders are extremely expensive, and from my understanding stainless is much harder to work with on a mandrel bender than aluminized steel.

Maybe just wants dual exhaust but doesn't mind constricting bends, because he will have the dual cutouts.
But I know what you mean. I have tsp 1 7/8 headers to a 3" y-pipe which goes to the stock rear exhaust. (reducer from the y-pipe to stock pipe which goes over axles to stock muffle and stock tips), but I do have dual e-cutouts behind the headers :-). I'ts quiet on the street, and loud at the track.

I don't think it's about results in the op's case. It's about buying exhaust one time and being done. I will never go back to aluminized exhaust... my car on has 15k mi, never seen rain/snow, and the coated steel hooker 1 3/4 with flowmaster catback is rusty,rattling, and leakng. the **** just does not last. which is why the factory puts stainless on vehicles in the first place.

I've been arguing this point since the exhaust came out and I realized that it's comparable to any other high end exhaust price from the LT's back.
Very well put, sir. You have to pay to play and you get what you pay for. if someone doesn't care and just wants duals, by all means do what you want.... if you want one of THE best exhausts on the market, then this is the way to go!
****, ARH LT's + Y + Corsa CB is already over $2k...
And apparently there's an article about the Kooks system in the latest GMHTP. Of course, RIGHT when my scrip runs out..
