Default Question about DrGas Xpipe "kit"

Has anyone actually bought the package from them? My hooker long tubes will be here at the first of the month, and I need to know if ordering the whole "kit"(mandrel bent piping and down-turns) is worth it(about $250) or should I just go with the xpipe by itself ($105) and have someone custom make my duals back to my xpipe? I'm not really concerned about price, just fit issues, has anyone worked with the kit and hooker long tubes?

Thx

I did their kit with MAC's. Should be the same except you don't need the 45*'s to match up to the mid-lengths. I just bought all the stuff and had a friend weld it up. I don't know what a shop would charge for the other pieces you need, and then to build it...

I bought all the mandrel bends I needed from Dr. Gas - which was the one 90* you need on the drivers side and the two dumps.

Here's some pics: I got 2.5". Will probably go to 3" once I do cam, etc.

Ill tell ya Friday. I just ordered my complete kit today. I would think its worth it to get the kit fro Dr Gas. Any shop thats gonna weld it together is gonna charge you out the *** for mandrel bent tubing anyway.
