Prostreetonline is the only one I know with SS mandrel bent piping. I think the dude quoted me like 450ish for a single catback.

Thats where I got my exhaust done. I actually found him cheaper than a lot of other shops and one of the few that offer mandrel bent pipes. Not stainless steel though.

^^ I'll try that place. I'm curous when you say they dont so stainless steel. IS that because they dont have it or cant work on it? Wondering if i brought them stainless steel if they could work on it.

Don't have SS I think if you brought it to Mitch, he can do it. You also might need to bring a flange too because he did not have the right one to connect to the cat when I took my car to him.

If they don't do SS then they don't have SS filer/wire which means the weld areas well be mild steel which will rust. I had my exhaust done at ProStreet and I definately wont be going back. However for being in a rush and the cheap price it wasn't too bad. MIG welds are so nasty with most people

Theres a great exhaust shop in Fremont, around where fry's electonics is. I foregot what it's called but i can find out if you want. They do a great job on the welds and do madrel bent! A+++ work! and very friendly. They don't do SS, but just ask him to spray the exhaust so it wont rust. They spray some kinda matrial that covers it so it wont rust.

edit: They also have great prices. They charged my friend $250 for piping with a resonator for a Cat back single madrel bent system for a prelude.
