Need some help with custom fitting my exhaust
I currently have Magnaflow and purchased a used SLP 2OTL catback from someone online. He kept the I-pipe and over-the-axle pipe for it because he had a cutout on those, so I don't have them. SLP does sell them, but they want around $80 for each small pipe, so that idea is out the window. Anyways, I wanted to see if it would be possible to mate the over-the-axle pipe from my Magnaflow to my new SLP catback. The pipe is 3'' I believe and the inlet on the muffer is 3'' as well. The only problem is that the Magnaflow pipe is made to fit further forward into the side of the muffler up front, whereas the inlet on the 2OTL muffler is centered right on the side of the muffler. I think it might work if I could simply have that pipe mandrel bent backwards a bit.
Any other ideas?

I would forget about the 2otl setup. There is no possible way to mate it up. In fact, you should just sell it to me . J/K .. In all honesty I've been looking for this exhaust for a while. You could probably cut a small section, maybe a few inches, right before it starts to bend into the muffler. That will move the pipe back enough. Just have a shop do it, shouldn't cost you more than 50 bucks for the new welds and labor.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm going to start unclamping the Magnaflow tomorrow morning and see what I can do.
