Custom bent exhaust system

[Dave K.]

I've repeatedly been told by folks that I need to go to 3" when I put the
20vt in my Coupe.  Even the stock system has at least that in cross section
as it has two pipes of smaller diameter (2"?) the whole way back.

the Stebrro system is not mandrel bent, and isn't a very high quality system
IMO, I'd have a local shop build something up.  If they don't have a pull
through mandrel bender, then the 3" crush bends will flow very well for over
400hp.
