i remember reading something on the forum about a cheap route to go on a 3" exhaust...if i remember correctly it had something to do with some pre bent 3" SS piping.

i have been searching the forum for a couple hours now and i havnt turned anything up!

now as far as my setup goes i will running a BEGI SG downpipe and a metal core cat! for the cat back i simply want to do a 3" exhaust all the way to the back with no resonators or mufflers!

can anybody give me some leads to go on?

just get a mandrel bent 3" pipe made, weld a flange to it that mounts to your downpipe and you're good to go.

dont bother with stainless if you're on a budget. get alumized steel.

i dont really have a budget, i just said budget in the title cause it sounds better than cheap! i want stainless because my downpipe is stainless. but the alumized steel can be put into consideration........

Sean.... please step away from the exclamation (!) key...as a matter of fact, just remove the 'shift' key from your keyboard so you will not be tempted to use it.


Summit carries a generic 3" exhaust kit of aluminized steel.... i'll go in on half with you since half the "kit" will probably do one Miata...and you can pick it up directly from them.

Industrial grade 2.5" 16 gauge 304 elbows are fairly cheap (~$15 each from my source), this is what I used to build my exhaust.

This is what they use in food and beverage equipment and is widely available.

16 gauge is a bit thick, but easy to weld and will take a real beating.

Well maybe if you didn't spend your time correcting people's punctuation use and actually paid attention to the forum you might see these things.

If you can weld mild steel, why can't you weld stainless?

bucause, the welder that i will have access to is set up for mild steel, and its a MIG. if i go stainless i want to TIG weld it but i do not have access to a TIG welder.

did you want stainless in the first place? How were you going to weld it that way. Also you can MIG stainless too... just need a back purge
