Default Once again I need help

Well after calling every muffler shop in Anchorage Alaska....I have found that NO ONE does mandrel bent piping in this huge frickin state. So my question is, where is a good place to buy the complete piping for a 2001 tib?

Yeah, I know about that one, but I am not sure that I want that muffler. I already have a muffler, but I think I am gonna exchange it....the tip is way TOO big. It doesnt say what size tip that is for the muffler on the speedstate catback either. I need to know that.

True, but other than speedstate I think there is only KORE and Pacesetter, but KORE I don't belive has one avalible yet and Pacesetter sucks.

If you must go with "crush bend" piping just go up one size. So if you were going to build a 2" exhaust, go with crush bend and 2.25" If you were going to do a 2.25" go up to 2.5".

If you wanted the 2.5" exhaust anyway, I would not reccomend you go larger than 2.5" for a N/A tibby, so go with the 2.5" crush bend, it's better than nuthing, and should be cheaper than shipping mandrel bent pipes to Alaska!

Ok, that made perfect sense?

For future reference;

2.5" = 2 1/2"
