I agree.Just hold the money until you can find a better ler shop.There's plenty of room for 2 1/2 inch pipes,and if you're paying for a new exhaust,you should go ahead and get what you want.Get on E-Bay and grab a set of 2 1/2 Stang tails for it.So what if you have to postpone for a while,at least it'll be done the way you wanted it.I'm sure you've heard me preaching this,but,DON'T GET IN A HURRY.Everybody wants it done NOW,and settles for less right now,instead of waiting for More,later.Patience can really make a good car great.

Definitely take it somewhere else. I ran through 4 shops who all told me my h-pipe wouldn't fit my car until I found a place that could do it. You just need to find the right place for the job.

He told me I'd need mandrel bent piping if I was to do 2.5in.  Not because there isnt enough room, but that when the pipe is bent, it ends up being smaller than 2.25in at that hump.  I'm not THAT worried about it being "only" 2.25in since my H-pipe, extensions, and lers are all 2.25 in anyway.  2.5s would be nice, but they're not going to do much good until the "big overhaul" I have planned down the road.

And I do agree with you vinnie, but there are only 2 shops near me and the other one charges WAY too much.  And like I said, I'm not an extremely picky person.  There was a Mustang sitting outside the shop when I got there that had the 2.25in and it looked exactly how I want mine to look.

Don't do it!  Just get mustang tails and have them extend them!

It'll turn out to be almost the same price.  It's $80 to order a set of Stang tails.  Then $80 for the tips.  Then whatever else for the labor.

Im having 2 1/4 put on mine. Its just a stock 5.0 CFI. I see no need to go 2.5, just that much more money. Until I rebuild the engine, and thats a far cry from now. I just exhaust on so it looks nice and can be driven. I have no money for a rebuild, especially since Im not done with school yet.

What, and 2 1/4" pipe miraculously DOESN'T end up being smaller when it's crush bent?

Sounds like he's an idiot.
