Glad I could help. Make sure you order any hangers and bolts you need. Mine needed some odd bolts with a taper at the end and I could not find them anywhere in a normal hardware or auto store.
I am not sure what Canary94Gt meant by mandrel bent instead of crushed, but I did notice the that the pipe has no bending wrinkles or fluting on it in spite of all the bends. It is smooth everywhere. All the end flares were pretty good too. The only real adjustment I needed to do was grind down the weld seam since it was a little to high to get the pipe to slide in.

Not bad, it's a good system. Much under-rated in the magazine article-driven world we live in.

I'm not really an expert on exhaust systems, but Mandrel-bent exhaust means they use a tool that creates no wrinkles or fluting like you said.

Here's a quick explanation/comparison

Our pipes from factory are made using the crushing method.

That looks like it tucks up there nicely. Glad to hear you like the sound of it as well.
