What do you guys think about my exaust plan?

[Rockerdude]

I want to put a fresh exhaust system on my wagon, I was thinking a single 2 1/4 manderl bent from the stock manifold to the back with a magnaflow natural stainless oval muffler. The motor is a completely stock 225 slant.

What do all you think?

sounds good.

that will even work with a cam/headers.

What's the stock pipe diameter?

1 7/8 I think. Where are you gonna get this mandrel bent system?

1 7/8 I think. ........

Ideally, but check out the first choke point right at the exhaust flange:

2.25 mandrel would be very good, room for motor to grow too.

I would have it custom made.

I don't think you would ever feel the difference between a high dollar mandrel custom job and a good die and shoe bent system. Ain't no way. Your wallet will feel it, though.

I will buy the muffler separately and I was quoted by a local exhaust shop 150 bucks to do it. Not too bad.

Have you seen the machine? Somehow, I have my doubts as to whether their definition of "mandrel" is the right one. Good luck.

Yes I have, and yes it is. A buddy of mine had a dual system done and it was a quality job.
