My local shop charges 10 bucks a foot for as many bends as you need id try the local place frist. are you looking to get a muffler too? most exhuast systems are gonna be cat back and replace your muffler.

if you keep your stock cats i think a Y-pipe were the muffler would be would sound good. you could always get one of those mufflers that is DI/DO with an Xpipe in the middle.

Your always best off having a shop measure and bend the pipes for you. Shouldn't run you too much, $80 I would imagine. And then you can install them yourself if you wish.

I think for quality and price, buy an aftermarket aftercat kit, good pipes, and muffler for a decent price. We have a flowmaster single in / dual out "force 2" system behind Dynatech headers w/cats, and it sound phenominal and the piping looks good after 3 years. We also have a "muffler shop" dual exhaust on a 95 f 150 and the muffler, tips, and tubing, look like crap and I think that system cost almost twice as much. Ans of coarse, installing an exhaust in kit form is very easy and it gave me an excuse to buy a wire feed welder to tack all of the connections and get rid of the clamps. I say "find a good kit". Flowmaster,etc...

Pulling the stock muffler out never hurts much, then when you have a couple hundred saved, get a full system done.
