While gathering parts for the LS6 swap I used Amazon and eBay to get some exhaust supplies. It amazes me what 240$ was able to collect.
Amazon had a full stainless mandrel bent kit for around 150 delivered. Enough to do 3 or 4 cars. A pair of coated stainless mufflers for 42$ and an x pipe for 22.50? I swear the last time I bought a mandrel bent pipe it was probably 40$ for 1 piece? Anyway just thought I would share this info. A lot of people need help with exhausts. This seems like a great deal. ( beware, some sell the same kit for over 500$ ) actual current add my kit with mufflers and x pipe |

It's likely 409 stainless, which is OK, better than plain steel, but it will rust sort of like a like a brown patina. once sorted I'd recommend getting it ceramic coated. Look for the welded seam, you want to try to face it upwards. Easy to tell 409 from 304 as the 409 is magnetic.
304 is the preferred, it turns a bit blue but it stays shiny. Non-magnetic, but areas near bends an welds become magnetic, always check on straight or flat areas. |
