You should go to your local exhaust shop and get a quote on them doing your duals compared to a kit. I paid only 450 bucks for my duals compared to the magnaflow kits ive seen for 700? Ish i may be a bit off, and straight out the back or out the sides behind the rear tires on an angle, i have mine straight out the back

Did any of you get mandrel bending? How much of a difference does that make compared to crush bending?

Be careful with the kit exhaust systems, they can have leaks around the clamps. If you get it done at an exhaust shop its all welded. Plus they can angle the pipes anyway you want.

I got dual magnaflow straight out the back for $350.

shop here did $300 for my set up w chrome tips w/rollled lips. Its not mandrel bent but unless your running serious horsepower I dont think it makes a difference. I have used kits in the past and as stated above you run into leaks and pay more for the kit in the long run to take it and have all the joints welded.
