Stock 2000 SS Mandrel Bent tubes? Like the title says do they come stock? Just got my car and noticed it has 3" mandral bent tubes into a shiny stainless muffler (no markings) with two 2.5 Mandrel tubes coming out. Is that the stock system?

The SS option exhaust on my car, from "factory" (SLP)
is indeed stainless I, stainless muffler (looks hand built).
The I is 3" (in fact swaged down slightly to accept the
factory Y inside as slip-fit) and muffler exits are 2.5".

Factory is stainless, just not the pretty 304, 314, it is something like 409 -durable but not pretty. Stock SS I pipe was about 2.75 inch and hammered down a bit over the axle. SLP SS options were better- larger I pipe etc like jimmyblue said. Aftermarket stuff is usually larger and NOT flattened over the axle- there IS enough room!
