Just get 2.5 inch press bent - the mandrel bends won't make that much difference on what i presume is a diesel - only hi revving motors really need em.... for $1400 you are better off with press bent 3 inch if worried - extra diameter might compensate for press bends - not sure. My exhaust shop charges $150 for 2.5 inch press bent straight thru from turbo back on shorty patrol.....
Money saved would pay for part the turbo kit - most kits come with exhaust already.... unfortunately I am presuming its a diesel of course....
Hope it helps.

Same, 3 inch mandrel bent for similar price.

Get your turbo done then your exhaust, otherwise you have to get your exhaust done by a shop and then modified to suit your turbo setup. More expensive than just modifying exhaust after turbo enough to drive it to exhaust shop and get it done once.

Just my experience

thanks for the feedback yes its an oiler here comes the good part it allready has the turbo factory that is why i thought $1400 was ludacris(sorry chris)i thought 350-450.I dont want to go 3" because i dont have a body lift and it might be a bit tight i'll try the shop that de lux recommended see what they say.

Mate give Brian at Beaudesert Exhaust a call cause he sponsors Shane (Big Red) and I got a 3" dump pipe and 3" mandrel bent system for my GQ wagon for $750 straight of the shelf all I had to do was fit it.

Vaughan at Muffler Pro Centenary (the bloke de lux said)or Gary at Muffler Pro in Ipswich (on the one mile rd) would be two of the best places around ..I deal with them all the time for my own stuff and they do quality work at a great price..

pm if you need more details for them

lies lies lies :lol:

if you are upgrading your turbo definately go for a 3" mandrel bent, after all your doing it to make more power and a proper 3" is going to flow alot better then a pressbent - cause at the end of the day whats the point of a 3" tube with closed in bends ??

the dump pipe, or pipe directly off the turbine on the turbo is the one pipe that will make the biggest difference to boost response, overall boost (depending on factory boost control) and power

dont pussy foot around and do things half arsed. 3" mandrel bent from the turbo back or dont bother wasting your money

and yes, swap turbo first as if you dont (depending on make of turbo) you will have to make an adaptor or refab a whole new dump - more coin

hope this helps :)
