OK, this is driving me crazy...I know I saw somewhere how to buy your parts from jcwhitney and build your own exhaust system, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Does anyone have this info somewhere? I have a day off (no wife, no baby, no work) coming and thought that might be a fun project.
 
Thanks, but those are for 1G DSMs. I was looking to build one for my car, which is a 2G. I appreciate the help though!
 
Be creative, get some piping and just make it. You could follow your exhuast pattern with 3 inch piping, or you could look under your car and figure out the best flowing route. I don't think it will be to hard to make your own design. And besides, you can make a vfaq out of it, be famous, and actualy have a "custom exhuast" that noone else has.

What metal would you guys recommend for using to build an exhaust? .

My NAPA downpipe piping was covered in surface rust within a year, but after a few years on there now, apparently the only rust is on the surface. I can't remember where I got the catback piping from, but that has been completely rust free for years. I'll post again if I can remember the place.

One thing to consider for homebuilt exhaust jobs is that, especially with a lowered car, 2.5" is much easier to work with and make fit than 3". So, depends what you want and how much effort you want to put into it.

Downpipes are easy as hell to make, btw. Get a mandrel 45-degree bend, weld a flange on at an angle, and basically done.
