Default custom exhaust 3.8

Hello,

A friend of mine has done many nice custom exhausts on Chevys so I asked him about a custom exhaust for my 98 v-6. He's got his own ideas about doing my car, but I'd like to know what is reccomended from other Mustang owners (3.8). What size pipe for instance and other logistics. I'll choose mufflers later after browsing again through these forums. He will bend pipes as needed and weld it all together. He will do the labor for me in exchange for computer services. Is this a good way to go or should I order a kit from mustang tuning.

thanks,

Erik

Piping ... I think its like 3 inch or 3.5 ... those two aren't bad.

I would just go two straight pipes..no h/x/y two cats (unless you love some place where you don't get smogged) and as for mufflers... it varies

Flowmaster, MAC, Bassani, Borla, SLP, all are good, but those are basically.. preference.
