Stu5766 394 Posted November 2, 2015 I decided to upgrade my exhaust to make it breath better. After some phone calls, I worked out that I could purchase all the bits to make a mandrel bent system cheaper than paying a shop to fit a pressed metal system. So the fun began. 3 Mixalis, judgetread and FALCONSTIEN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I decided to run a couple of 15" hot dogs to calms it down a it. 1 Free.51 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stu5766 394 Posted November 2, 2015 They are 2.5 inch powerflow ( South African they tell me. ) Near on a straight through muffler, not sure on case length. I'll measure it & let you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted November 2, 2015 Mate congrats on the work. I couldnt agree with you more on how cheap it is to do this at home. Its by no means a fun job but its saves heaps of coin. Car sounds nice and deep in tone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu5766 394 Posted November 2, 2015 Exhaust guys no doubt earn their money, because it's a prick of a job, but cash is better in my pocket. Considering I got all the materials for a full mandrel system for around 500 bucks. 1 SirkWhyXF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing an exhaust on a hoist would be a million times easier than laying on the ground sliding under a car trying to figure out the next angle cut to make. I spent way to long making my exhaust ( almost 3 weeks every night after work for a couple of hours) but know I saved at least $2500 making it myself. Doubt I would got to the same extent again but the outcome is definitely worth the effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stu5766 394 Posted November 2, 2015 Cheers for the compliments guys. It's a bit calmer now with the hotdogs. It still sounds nice and angry, but I would have got booked for sure. It was like 95db at idle! 2 slydog and SirkWhyXF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
