On exhaust, I'd say buy the straight pipe (30$ max) you want, and have it bent by a muffler shop, sholdn't cost more than 50$ to match the stock bends and then get any canister you'd like (prices will definately vary) then weld it all together and vuala!

Ok, but I don't know of any shops around here with a mandrel bender. They have normal hydraulic pipe benders that crush the pipe a bit.

The BBS style wheel is the trendy sporty german car kind of wheel right?

These are a knockoff but I really like them:

Your going to be hard pressed to find a shop that has one - they cost about $100K - I havn't looked but I would imagine that you would be able to order small mandrel bend angles and have it welded together. or does that just sound stupid?

A crush bend is not going to make that much of a diff. imo since its such a small decrease in size at the bend. If you were going full race where you need ever lil bit to help then id spend the $ on madrel.

Yes, you can buy individual mandrel bends, that's how I've made the exhausts on all my previous vehicles. And I imagine new2me is correct, I doubt I would see much difference.
