RE: OEM style exhaust systems

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

A lot of muffler shops have the bend data for our cars.  Phone around 
your area and check.

An alternative is to have them measure up an existing pipe and duplicate 
it.

I brought my rusty tail pipes in for replacement and installation and 
they used the rusty ones as patterns for the new.  Then....to my horror, 
they had the pipes straight out the back instead of having the last bend 
so the tail pipes point down slightly.  I freaked.  "What are you 
doing?" I asked.  The mechanic looked at me like I was off some sort of 
other planet and said "we always put dual exhaust pipes straight out the 
back."  "Not this time." I responded.

He reluctantly undid the clamps and rebent the pipes to suit me instead 
of him.

I was happy and since I was paying the bill, I don't really care if he 
was or not.
