Mandrel bent exhaust

For those of us that like to do stuff on our own but don't want to pay the extremely high price for an exhaust here is a good link.

I know its for the cobalt but there is no reason why it wouldn't work. Come spring time this is def going to be something that i am ordering.

Price seems fair don`t think it will be a direct swap for the 2.2 being that it is 2 1/2 ".

yeah but you can always choke it back with a smaller muffler. Plus if you have access to a welder any auto parts stores sell the stuff you would need to hook it up.

Thats not the way to do it you will be defeating the purpose for spending the money.Having bigger pipes in the middle and having smaller diameter at the engine and muffler will get you no where.If you have a 2.2 you best do it right or don`t do it at all.This would be a waste of time and money for 2.2 owners but that is just my point.

Actually i don't see it that way at all, its actually cheaper than any other way that i've seen, plus it always leaves room to upgrade in the future.
