Also there are shops near me that do both mandrel bending and conventional bending of stainless. There is a difference if the pricing but is mandrel worth it that much more?
If you ever planning anything more than mufflers in the future mandrel bent will be worth it. i just finished my exhaust with 2.25" piping on a mild 350. it flows pretty good but i will be getting an x pipe and the same muffler as you, just a 14" not 11" post a vid when its done, want to hear how it sounds.
I will for sure man. I've been toying with the idea of tackling the project with my Dad's friend who is a welder and did his own custom on his Jeep YJ. If he will help me for a case of beer I will be buying the headers that you have and doing a full 2.5" back with an x pipe. Only reason for the 2.5" is to leave me room to beef up the 350 a bit. Hoping I can go this way since the cheapest quote I got for a cat back is $400.
Otherwise I will just be doing a 2.5" cat back for now until I get the funds for headers and a full system.
Oh and btw, I think the 14" DI/DO magnaflow has an internal crossover.
Awesome, if your running on budget it will be hard to start too much, when i put in the headers being theyre lts i had to run the pipe across at the driveshaft, but getting the muffler, mabye x-pipe in would be an awesome start. and i looked up the muffler but none of them say if there crossover. i may wait , if yours is a little too loud a may just get it anyways. cause mine will be even louder without cats. and 2.5 is a good size. i just wend with 2.25 cause its what i had here when i ordered the piping and reducers. let me know if you have any questions when it comes to the headers. i have a half assed build thread on fsc
do you have a welder? you could save piles of money if you did it yourself. its actually pretty easy, will probably take a weekend, or less with some good help. all the parts could be had for probably 600-700$ easy.. which is pretty good considering some people pay that for just headers!Ya that's what I'm thinking. Unless I can do it all myself for a decent price, a cat back system will go in for now.

I don't but my Dad's buddy is a welder by trade so he could help me out. Did you go with stainless steel piping? If so where did you get it from?
