If you do that I'll cut you a deal on mandrel bends assuming your planning on using those.

Ya that's a must. If I'm gonna do equal length and go through that much trouble... problem with equal length ill need some weird angles. I'll draw it up on cad or solidworks first.... when I get the lengths of all the pipes and angles it won't be difficult. Do you have 3-1 and 2-1 collectors?

I don't stock anything like that but I can check around, we have several vendors that I do not advertise on our website.

Let me know what bends you would need and I can get a quote from our supplier. We stock 45, 90 and 180 but I can order anything as long as the demand is there

Actually just 2-1... I'm gonna have to make the 3+1 for it to work... I know summit has em. I don't think the primaries will be too long.... I've got an idea for cutting the stock primaries at the flannel and using that as a base so fit at the head won't be an issue. I'll get a prototype for me.... how much interest have you had?

Well the studs on my OEM manifold are garbage, and don't really hold a nut. So my exhaust is dangerously weak in that area.

I have an opportunity to get a stock replacement, but would obviously like to upgrade instead of side step.

Touchè.

At least you know someone is interested.

Ever replaced the studs? Tough to get out and back in?

Never done it on a jeep. They should be screw in. Should be able to get em out with vice grips. Hey if I get that goin could I be a vendor? I know there's some other interest among renix jeepers.

If you were selling in any volume you would be forced to become one or you wouldn't be allowed to sell on here.

BTW on the studs I believe you can get a new exhaust bolt set at rockauto.
