Building and exhaust, on a budget- suggestions?

[Tsigoon]

Ok, I'm building a turbo back exhaust- here's what I was thinking since I'm on a tight budget for mods on the car

2.5" mandrelbent to the flex section from RRE
3" pressbent beyond that with no cat.
Dynomax race magnum bullet

Any suggestions? I have a shop that will put it together/bend for cheap, and they do good work.

My goals- low 13's - 12's. Not looking for super modded z06 beating fast, but fast enough to put at least LT1's and other small block v8's in their places.

PS- how nasty would this sound? Anyone done anything similar?

why not go 3" the whole way? if someone will do your bending/cutting, then why not? buy the mandrel downpipe bend in the 3" variety & get the rest 3" pressbent if they cannot do mandrel. i have an dynomax straight through muffler with no cat & it actually growls. it is really loud though, but i love it.

i pretty much have the same set up as above, but 2.5". if i could go back, i would have a 3" mandrel bent turbo back exhaust. if you go cheap, you will regret it later. woulda shoulda coulda

Just dump the exhaust under the car half way back. You do not have to go the rear of the car.

You can do a 3 inch mandrel for under $300. Dynomax bullet muffler, a couple of 3 inch mandrels and use the straight sections from the muffler shop that welds it together for you.

Acctually, Now i'm looking at doing a side pipe- 3 inch dp and 3 inch pressbent to right infront of my passenger side rear wheel... tee hee hee...

but for the muffler on that- would I just have them put it in inline? the one i'm looking at is 3 in and 3 out, so i shouldn't have a problem, right?
