Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
You can call this place...Summit also started carrying pypes. I just got the kit for my 56 belair a few weeks ago. All SS with the xpipe and ecutouts. Just throwing another option out there...I'm pretty happy so far.

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
Mandrel bent has a lot less restriction. The local shop uses the hydraulic bender which slightly smashes and crimps the pipe, thus restricting exhaust flow. Gain or lose 10-20 hp it's up to you.

This is a crush bend ![]() This is a mandrel bend ![]() Both are the same diameter pipe, but you can see in the crush bend how much more restriction is made at the angle. Not just in the diameter change, but also the ripples will reduce flow and efficiency of passing exhaust. Quote:

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
I bought my own flowmasters (super 44's) and just dropped off my truck to the exhaust shop about 1hr ago...The price is high...but Im am getting what I want, How I want, Where I want, everything the way I want. I am willing to pay for custom items ifit comes down to it. If the quality is worth it. I am running 2.5 in stainless 409 pipes into the flowmasters then piping out the sides into dual slash cut 3"tips. I dont know if its going to look as I want...its a slight gamble but I think it will come out right. I am paying over $500.00 for this. Maybe im stupid..but its what I want...and no one else is going to have it on their C10 truck. So it will be worth every $ when it comes down to it. Just my 2cents.

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
I had an aluminized cat back system put on my 96 Chevy Z71, it rusted and fell off within 5 years.

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
This picture says it all, JMHO, about the Quality of the Magnaflow set-up.
"GQ" Has 2.5" pipes, bender bent, not Mandrel, SS Magnaflows, No X, it's harder to make a pretty X on a 4wd, dumps in front of the tires, has no tips on it, and premium hangers. I got mine done for $500 and "Merlot" is getting this kit instead of the custom done one. I Luv my Magnaflows ![]() *Disclaimer - This vid was shot outside, but the rig was in the garage so it has that tunnel sound to it. It is alot deeper in person, ignore the Dog. ![]() ![]()

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
Ok here's my 2 cents. The company is called pypes I saw the exb trailer at a car show. Wow really nice stuff complete pre bent system, with x pipe. Depending on price for mufflers they have I think 3 to choose from. It's a little under $500. Sounds great I heard It on a pickup and a camaro.
Here's the link http://www.pypesexhaust.com/ |

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
Thanks for the Pypes link. It shows the Pypes system with the tails routed out the rear corners of the truck at an angle. How does the Magnaflow system tails route? Oh ya, and the Magnaflow system sounds awesome. Thanks for the exhaust note!! Is that a big block or a small block making that sound? Looks great too!!

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
The pic I posted was from the article linked in post reply #11, I just
right clicked it and saved it, might be a rear dump pic on there also. As for my rig it's a 1970 LT1 Camaro SB and was built mostly by the PO and machine shops out in Cali, he claims it to be right at 425HP.

Re: Pre bent exhaust for our trucks?
Do all of the pre bent systems that are out there for sale come as a rear corner exit of the truck? Anyone have pics of what the tails/tips look like exiting the truck?
