Amen. Quality pays for itself in the long run.

Okay Okay You get what you pay for. Here are a couple of shots of the partially mocked up and tacked exhaust. The tubbing is good but not great http://store.racing-solutions.org/info.html. I had to work a few of the pieces to get them round. The U bends started out real good but as the mandrel got farther from the clamped end the tubing started things started getting a little triangular instead of round. I would say the quality varies from 7 to 8 on the same U bend. I will send the bucks on the next group of tubbing for the muffler to tail pipes and note the differance.

I totally agree. You get what you pay for and SPD is the best. I'm always bargain hunting, but it's A LOT easier to make a good product when you start with good materials.

Looks good Ted, do you have a build site? :thumbsup:

Also, guys posting suggestions, can you put links to the recommended retailers? It would make searches so much easier.

Thx
