Judging by all the crush bends I can count, you have approx 60 feet of effective pipe length.... so on a cost per virtual foot basis, ya gots a real Bargoon! LOL!
Ya know what? In keeping with yer general Redneck theme, you could simply have bought a roll of flex pipe and run 'em any which way yerself

Assign a fraction of that to a simple crush, X the # of crushes = a conservative estimate. It's likely even more, lol.
Fun with numbers.
I can't believe you guys still take ol' bubba seriously!

The best exhaust systems, like most pre-made exhaust systems, come with mandrel bends.
Mandrel bending is done by a special machine that uses a non-crushable insert, or mandrel, that goes into the pipe while bending to prevent it from being crushed. If you are making your own exhaust, you can buy pre-made mandrel bends from MagnaFlow, Burns Stainless, Kinsler or Bassini. The huge speed parts mail order emporium Summit Racing stocks both the right kinds of mufflers and mandrel bends.
It is better to use a smaller diameter mandrel bent pipe than a larger crush bent pipe. Remember that maintaining velocity is just as important as reducing backpressure."
