turbo vs. CAT back exhausts - Page 4

I cant think of ANY shops in the Denver area that can mandrel bend 5 inch stainless, match factory mount locations and have a no-drill installation.... definitely going to disagree with you on the price too... you are not only paying for Joe Schmo to build ONE system (at +/-$90/hr) when MBRP builds hundreds a day to precision standards with full warranty.... are you drunk?? And who wants to pay someone to put an exhaust system on? its a simple bolt-on, and if you don't want kats bat enough, thats a do-it-yourself thing too...

they are a few here in ohio that will custom bend up to 5" exhaust but will not eliminate the cats

To a business, tampering with required smog hardware is a $10,000 fine, a federal clean air act violation.

The DIY'er is exposed also. $2500 IIRC

why would you pay someone to do a simple bolt on in the driveway?? isn't that half the fun of mods to a truck? I'm still curious what shops will do mandrel bending on command... an "off road" bolt on kit from companies like MBRP would be so much faster, easier, and just as custom.... that post about having a shop make your exhaust kit is just mind boggling to me! there is now way that could be cheaper unless you owned your own shop and still built the kit yourself.
