??Where to buy 45° bend for driver's side header??
 
I think I am just going to buy and install a few feet of 3" exhaust pipe and a couple mufflers for the time being. Does anyone know where I can buy just the 45° bend for the driver's side? Maybe in a few months I can see about getting Lane's, but for right now this will be fine.
Thanks.

you could probably just drop by at a local autozone or similar!

OK. I was just wondering if anyone sold one with the correct lengths. I am pretty sure I can just buy a U or J bend and hack it up; but I'd like to have the correct length bend and just bolt it in.
Thanks.
TTT. :)

Any muffler shop would bend you a section of
pipe to 45 degrees for pretty cheap if you walk
up with the dimensions and the cash. Better yet
to get a piece of coat hanger or welding rod
and eyeball-fit the actual angle needed for a
proper hang and let them bend to that. Then
a pair of flanges / reducers and some clamps,
and you're good.

Once they've got you on their lift, is when it gets
expensive. Until then you have plenty of price
leverage (down the street to the next).

This is probably what my first option is going to be. I am going to order 2 4 ft sections of 3" exhaust pipe from Jeg's or Summit and see if I can get the local muffler apes to bend me one of the pieces. I think I am going to get Sweet Thunder mufflers since they are only 3" in diameter and sound killer :cheers:.
