3" mandrel bent exhaust Hey all! I was looking at getting this when my headers get in. Does anyone sell kits or could I just go to an exhaust shop and have them fab one up for me?

I like my magna flo's and would like to keep them. I just want to upgrade the piping before the mufflers. I have the basic magna flo kit. It's the 2.5 kit.

I went to a local shop, the guy there said it would be about $200 and some change maybe to run 3 inch from my header to my muffler, put the tips on and install an O2 bung.
This also comes from a highly recommended shop. However, it took some time. I went to 4 or 5 places before I found this one and was comfortable enough to let him work on my car (he said it would take 2 hours or so but he wanted an extra hour to be able to go through and make sure there weren't any quality issues).

Pacesetter has a kit fir the older grand prixs that will fit you would just need to replace the tips. But for 200 that's a steal. I paid over 700 for my custom setup

That's just to run the piping and put my pieces together. With the headers, mufflers and tailpipes (which i have not found yet) I'll have well over that invested.

It's one of those things that if you're going to keep modifying the car, you need to go ahead and get it out of the way. I don't have any numbers to back up my 3" exhaust.

Having said that, you can over exhaust a car but 3" isn't going to do it on a 325 cube motor spinning to 6000rpm.
