Jim, when were you planning on getting this done. I was planning on buying all the tubing and misc parts to make mine this weekend or next. I'm not in a huge hurry or anything, but I'm getting a little anxious to just do it. Especially since I have access to a welder the next couple of weeks. I would definetely wait a little while for a actual mandrel bent pipe though. So count me as a possible yes. I would prefer the hanger and everything possible were in place, it would make the job a lot easier. I assume by "eye brackets" you mean the flanges? I can't think of anything else that looks like an eye on the exhaust system, especially a hanger . BTW 316L is the good stuff, although overkill on an automotive exhaust.

I am in, Jim. I was planning to use the Magnaflow SS straight through muffler. I don't remember the model, but somebody just posted pics of the same muffler installed within the past week. So there will be flanges welded at both the muffler and cat ends? Cool! 2 weeks is good, just tell us when to send the money. I need to get the exhaust replaced before I can do any real tuning with the MAF conversion and the Wide-band O2.
Any chance this guy could make me a 3" downpipe for my IHI turbo? No one makes one for my application. I could pull my elbow and trace the bolt pattern and mail it to you....Let me know.
Oh, one other question, Have you considered running a resonator between the cat and muffler to quiet it down a little? I know that Dynomax make a nice one for around $35 from Summit.
- cat to rear cross member. Cat end is slightly longer
than stock, so you can custom fit your converter. Cut-to-fit.
Cross member end will have a welded flange. Factory-like hanger.
- Cross member to muffler. Flange at cross member,
about 5" straight pipe where the muffler is. This gives
some flexibility in muffler choices. One hanger welded in the back.
The others hangers need to be welded at the muffler's rear.
- Muffler. Looking at a custom made 5x9 oval. Possibly
20-24" long. Single IN, dual OUT. Extra stainless wool for quiet.
Extra cost. Unknown.
- Resonator. 4" barrel, 3" at each end. 24" long. Extra cost.
Maybe $50? Will require clamps or welding. Will have to cut
the cat to cross member pipe.
For the downpipe, would I need to send them my elbow and downpipe, or could I just send a tracing of the bolt pattern and they could follow the path of your ct26 downpipe???

I will have money end of next week. If it has to wait 3-4 weeks, that is fine with me. Probably reduces the chance of my wife divorcing me :lol: The muffler you are describing sounds good. I definitely want a resonator. I like the idea of the quiet assassin - ninja exhaust at idle. So around $350 for complete exhaust with resonator and muffler welded up and ready to install?
For the downpipe, would I need to send them my elbow and downpipe, or could I just send a tracing of the bolt pattern and they could follow the path of your ct26 downpipe???
Now I am really into it... I just qouted my Supra for a full 3" cat back w/o muffler and ask me for 400 bucks and if this is gonna be for 150 I might as well get one and my friend can weld it up for me... LMK and also pics... July would be a good month for a group buy for since I am still tied up with my turbo upgrade
Sounds good, Jim. For the muffler, take a look a the SS straight-through Magnaflow that Phil Dupler was recommending. Everyone that has ever installed a Magnaflow has been pretty happy, especially with a resonator.
Jim King... when would the new 3" cat back available on public... can't wait to buy the 3" cat back for my turbo project so that I don't have to get to the hassle having one made for 300+ since it would both be mandrel bent

Trying to finalize the muffler. Then it get's installed. I hope this will
occur in the next two weeks.
