Anyone went custom catback instead of cutting off arm and leg?
I have searched high and low. Skip the next three paragraphs if you just have some feedback.  or stay reading the rest of the story.
I am another one of those cheap bastards that won't pay 800 + dollars for an exhaust.
Heres the deal. My exhaust has been butcherd by the original owner and his welder monkey and really needs to be fixed right.
When I bought the car both tips were fully riding on the bumper cover. Resonator was cut out and flows welded in. Nothing was aligned right. It's like the hangers are not doing anything anymore. I tried to fix this as best I could when I welded in the x pipe and realigned the tips to the cover. It looks good and sounds good but the system is just so ****ed up under the car that I would like to start from scratch. The tips are banging into the cover going over bumps even though they look perfect with the car just sitting there.
What I want to do is leave everything as it is to the X pipe which is in the stock resonator location. From there back I want 3 inch tube with a pair of 15 inch race bullets or glasspacks before the diff, then from there 3 inch tails bent out to the bumper cover with some nice double walled tips. Very simple set up and if done right should only take four bends to accomplish.
I may have it bent out of stainless as this shop cators to custom work and should look top notch and be somewhat visible from the rear of the car.
