[urq] 3" exhaust

[Martin Pajak]

I have considered it.
The only place that is capable of it can only do it in sections, i.e. mandrel bent pipes cut into sections and welded together, (like a header) not my favorite.

What I am looking for is nice smooth mandrel bent pipes that look and flow as they should, with 1-2 muffler and stock looking tips.  Is that so much to ask for?

Anyhoo.. if this fails, I might have to go to these guys and open up my wallet.

Cheers
