Wow
those are very nice and smooth. I live in Hawaii and no exhaust shops here have mandrel machines. Do you think they could make the xpipe for me. The rest of the exhaust, I can have it made here. The smoother the transition, the better the flow = more horsepower.

Gifted? Not me...lol.
Im hoping to learn a thing or two from these guys on welding, but they have alot of natural skill.
I am good friend with Brandon & Kirby and Ill tell you the difference. These guys are racers....and they have high standards. Before they send anything out the door it has to be perfect. Ive seen them argue for ten minutes over the best way to route a pipe. But its not cheap. The setup for a basic system like this or mine is $500 and that includes only labor and tubing...you provide mufflers. Add ons are extra. But in reality....its a steal especially when compared to $600+ catbacks. Or a $400 hack job such as the previous setup in this post.
Unfortunately they will never get rich doing this....they only do it in thier spare time for "some" people. It generally takes 12-14 hours to complete a typical setup such as this.
