GREAT deal IMO as if you pick it up there would be no shipping.

*edit*- I'll save you the trouble, here:

They have other sizes as well, all at great prices. They care extremely cheap flex sections, O2 bungs, and hangers too. I just spent quite a bit with them, and as mentioned since its local you dont pay shipping if you pick it up. My gf and I just made a date out of it, and got a nice lunch/dinner when we went.

I have some mufflers for anyone who is interested as well. I bought a bunch of them when trying to choose my exact setup. One of them is a monster 30" long bodied, 3" ID 6" OD muffler that dampens virtually EVERYTHING, the other is a OBX N1 style that is 2.25 or 2.5" ID (cant remember).

So that was you that has come down several times in your girlfriends toyota. Next time send me an e-mail and let me know you are coming to get something and I can give you better pricing on most of the stuff if you ask for me.

You could always keep the exhaust you have now and just add a cut out.

Its rusted and old. Where is the Performance Curve place located? If I took some measurements could I just come down there and buy a lot of diffferent pipes? That way I could just get a muffler shop to weld it up.

SOB you work there? Were you the one to walked me back into the backroom to show me the SS exhaust hangers that you had? The prices there are definately awesome, and yea I went back there a few times to pick up other things. I was trying to get a full stainless flex section instead of a SS braid with aluminized ends, any idea what pricing would be on one of those? My gf has to head to roanoke for an interview on Friday, just curious if you can get me one. Im doing a full 3" 304 SS exhaust system with Vbands all around, and have definately went all out to do it right, so Id rather not have any aluminized pieces in my system if possible.

No, that was not me. I was probably outside smoking. I would need to check into the flex section. I know we can get it witout the nipples(pipe ends) but I think even the couplings are aluminzed. So I would have to order it. Did you need it 3 ply?

I wanted the normal fully braided exterior/interior flex. So you cant get it fully stainless? How do you connect it up to the piping with just the braided portion? Simply butt weld it together?
