2.5" but not mandrel

[waterbird808]

Hi all
Thanks for looking. Car will be going to a muffler shop to put a 2.5" magnaflow cat and 2.5" pipping from cat to rear of bumper, but its not mandrel bend. Will this be ok or did anyone did this before and how did you like it. The shop will use pipe bending. Is there anything i should know or make sure what kind of pipe will they use. Im paying $225 for just the pipping from cat to rear bumper. Gonna make sure i take the old cat home to sell on ebay. Thanks James

89 Dodge Shadow 2dr 5speed 2.5 turbo.
i just bought air/fuel monitor from turbo unleashed. next will be boost controllers from Darren Dawes.

I am pretty sure you can order a mandrel bent cat-back from one of the vendors for less than $225. FWDPerformance.com

Yeah if they were gonna charge you 100 bucks to bend the pipes and install them, fine, but for 225 i'd look elsewhere

[waterbird808]

I tried but it would of cost me over $250 to buy it and have it ship here.

Yeah, but it will flow better. Save till you can afford the extra $25-50.
Ain't cheap to live in paradise! I hate you, I am so jealous I can't live in Hawaii.

Geez went back to try order the mandrel pipe from fwdp and shipping alone was $254.

Yeah nobody here knows anything about sleeping dodges. i gave my son the hondas after i read about the dodges and bought a cherry shadow 2.5 turbo for $400 and im the 2nd owner. We do have a big crowd when we have races and there's no dodges non watsoever. so im gonna need some guidance and some used parts for donation and represent our forum. im in the process of getting a 89 caravan 2.5t for $300 with a blown heads. thanks james

Do a post for someone in Hawaii in the military. They can get it shipped for regular prices!!!!!!!!! Heck, most bases have shops to use also. Might be a lurker here that would love to work on one at the base on a hoist??!?!?!?!?

IM GOING WITH SPEEDY HERE. PLUS WHEN I SELL MY CAT ON E-BAY IT WILL HELP BRING PRICE DOWN. ILL PROBALLY SAVE $60 TO $70 AFTER CAT IS SOLD.

No navy down there anymore? At least you could get it shipped at no extra charge to one of the islands and then pick it up?
