I am doing my own TD Setup and......... Has anyone else done this? I do not have a pipe bender to use. So I am going to order all the stainless from summit or jegs. If so how many different bends did you use? I am looking to do 2.5 inch system with x-pipe with 1 chamber flows over the axle. Not expecting many answers.

i made my own true duals, but i made all the bends myself without a pipe bender. If you are going all stainless, its gonna be alot of tig welding. if there is anything i can help you with let me know.

How did you make the bends. Were the pipes crimped. You have any pics?

Doing your own is a bitch. It's tough to tell what you are going to need. If you can return them, do what recommended above and buy like 5 of each, and a bunch of straight piping. That will be your best bet.

Keep up your thread as you start doing your exhaust. When i get more money saved i am going to be making my own TD system so it would help to be able to keep up with your build. I am going to run stainless 2.5 inch piping with the cats off my existing set up into an x pipe then i think im goin with one of the mufflers/resonators from Stainless Works, Under the axle and use the tips fom my existing set up. I have spent a lot of time doing research and measuring, mock up crap for the past while so i will be very interested in seeing how your build goes. good luck.
