Custom exhaust Q
I wonna buy a muffler from online (probably megan racing, or skunk2) and go to Big Al's and have them make some 2 1/4 piping and put it on my car. Now does the inlet size of the muffler have to be the same diameter as the piping diameter i plan to get? most mufflers Skunk2 and MR make have 2 1/2 inlets and if i have to get 2 1/2 piping thats too big for a small displacement, N/A engine. im assuming it does because it wouldn't make sense if they were different sizes but i wonna make sure.

Re: Custom exhaust Q
You don't want Big Al's exhaust piping anyway, it's probably crushed bent and cheap(won't last) so if you can, buy a complete cat back set up. If the piping is 2.25" and the intake on the muffler is 2.50" you/they can use a step up pipe from 2.25" to 2.5" to match it up.

Shoot varocktoy a pm. He does custom exhaust work using mandrel bends for a decent price. Or, if you have access to a welder and a chop saw, you can fab something up yourself.

I have a question. If he has access to a welder and a chop saw and a grinder, where can he pick the piping up at, and wouldn't it just be cheaper all around to get someone else to do it?

Re: Custom exhaust Q
i originally had a skunk2 cat back system but it was loud, ugly and obnoxious. so i bought an exhaust kit from here, http://www.kteller.biz/prodtype.asp?...ageHistory=cat
it came in pieces and i took it to big al's to weld together. they did a great job for a decent price.
i'm thoroughly please with my exhaust set up. 2.5 straight through and looks stock. and in the end cost me about the same as a bolt on system.

Re: Custom exhaust Q
In general, you should be able to find piping to fit your needs from any company advertising mandrel bends.
