Mandrel Bent Exhaust?
Does anyone offer a kit 2.5" in size with mandrel bends for a 68-74 style crossmember? Doesn't seem like anyone makes a decent exhaust for these cars. Only one I've seen is MAD and it doesn't look decent.

I've always just bought a bunch of elbows and pipe fron J.C.Whitney and welded up my own. This way I get exactly what I want.

I understand. The shop doing some work may end up doing this, but we were hoping for a nice kit that wouldn't require much fabrication since we're under a tight deadline for getting the car done.

Have heard these are supposed to be quite good. A few members were waiting on the Corvette system as they are fairly new out...

Pypes is shipping. Won't install until the 396 goes in, but they look good.
