SPD is a quadzillion dollars though! The Magna Flow is a screaming deal, just get a Hot Rod Kit. Or Stainless Works for onesies, towsies. Either way we can hook you up.

You get what you pay for, their tubing is bent on a better bender that does not deform as much in the bend so when you cut and rotate the tubing it is not as misaligned as some of the others. They also use top quality steel that welds really nice. And their flanges are basically jewelry. I have never had anyone complain about the price after they have seen the quality.

I see that you are from Tulsa, I live in Okc. When I built my turbo mustang I got all my mandrel bends from Perfection Trucks it is a diesel shop I believe. You might check and see if there is another shop somewhere up in Tulsa, if not just make a trip down. I was very pleased with everything that I got from them and their prices weren't that bad. Go to yellowpages.com and get their number.

Received my tubbing from http://store.racing-solutions.org/info.html. I would rate it an 8 on a 1 to10 scale for quality and a 10 for price.This is mild steel stuff. There are some minor tooling marks on the clamp end and one or two minor bumps on two of the six pieces I received. It appears that the dimensions are consistant but I'll know more when I start cutting and fitting. I'll follow up at that point.

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.
