yup. shipping them out in the morning with all the other **** I have to return haha.
also, anyone know what bends and lengths of tubing I should order for my exhaust?
edit: well I might not be doing a 3in exhaust quite yet. looks like I'll be looking at around $475 just for the parts for me to fab it up and I'm already in too much debt to spend that kinda money. I'll probably just make some traction bars and maybe do a mild cage depending on how sweet our discount is on piping through the school.

! Either I got a crackhead price on mine, or $475 is tearing you a new one when it comes to exhaust; I paid $275 for mine and that's including the muffler and labor. I used a 3" radius 3" diameter 90 degree mandrel bend for going over the oil pan. Then straight pipe (easy) which you can measure length yourself and any shop should have 3" straight pipe. Next was an 18 degree bend towards the back. You can use a mandrel one, but mine was crush bent, as 18 degrees is almost negligible in terms of crush bend restriction. Next I used a 45 degree mandrel bend towards the back and mated it to the 3" Magnaflow muffler. PM or text me if you need more details bro.
Mandrel bends are expensive though, expect to pay at least $20-$30 for each one, and then shipping is a pain too.. So if you order, make sure you get everything shipped together at once. www.mandrel-bends.com
Hope this helps!

the parts I was looking at were all from summit, all mandrel bent and stainless steel. I also estimated lengths so I could probably save a couple bucks there.
I may be able to get exhaust piping at a discount through the school so we'll see in a week or two once I get a little bit into my chassis fab class.

i suggest going to a muffler shop and buy a generic mandrel bend truck exhaust from them and cut that up.
its generally cheaper and easier than buying a certain ammount of piping

yeah you should just go to a muffler shop and get one made from a 3inch pipe.. i got my whole exhaust/downpipe made right from the turbo flange all the way to the back with a flex pipe, hangers, rubber mounts, etc and a flow master for 195$ lol. its not a shiny stainless steel but it does the job.. and shiny exhausts down here only get you pulled over.

yeah true if I didn't order all stainless it would be alot cheaper. I just don't wanna have to worry about it rusting.

^ Yes.. No you are not noobing it up. They even have silver high-temp rust-proof paint. When they did mine, this is what they sprayed automatically on each weld, so that those exposed areas wouldn't rust, corrode, or be effected by the elements!
I'd do grille-black personally, or the silver on the whole length of it, and heat wrap your downpipe.
