I don't feel like paying someone $400 in labor alone to install new Magnaflow 94106 cats on my 97. I have a welder and experience, just no bender. Eyeballing it, it looks like a pipe 45 degrees will be fine between the manifolds to the cats. Can anyone confirm that is true, or at least close enough?
I've found some 45 degree, 2.5" pipes with mandrel bends but only with short 6" or so legs. It seems like I will need at least 12". Any sources?
