hey guys, Ive picked up the obx header for the 3.0 last week. Ive been to a couple shops and neither shop wants to mess with "bending" the downpipe.

Just wondering if anyone has had success with a certain national brand store or shop that would do this, or if im really running a chance of ruining the downpipe as the mechanics Ive talked to have told me.

 

i think dustbuster4 got his done at meineke or midas, so you may want to check them out.

 

yeah i've been to the midas by my place, and the manager said no way..... funny, b/c he has a modded evo

 

sounds like the manager is a cock...try some small custom muffler shops, places that may have a pipe bender.

 

i went to my local muffler shop and they also thought "bending" the pipe was a bad idea, they ended up having me install it as much as possible then bringing it in and they cut and welded it to make it fit...

 

well just get it bent tell them u'll take responsibility... since you know it will fit after the bend and obviously it doesn't fit without the bend.

 

werd, just tell then you wont be mad if it gets messed up and make em bend it

 

tell them ull break thier legs if they dont bend it.

 

i think he doesn't wanna put it on so my car doesn't get faster than his..........j/k

i'm gonna try a different midas or local wacko shop today and see what they say. Otherwise i guess ill have to drive to DC to go to the midas dustbuster did

 

im tellin u man.. things get done when u threaten to whip someones legs.

 

just say ill punch your wife in the cooter... that always works for me

 

I've had 3 sets of OBX headers bent at 3 different MIDAS shops in the Rockville/Germantown, MD area. The bend is easy. Whatever shops(s) tells you that it can't be done, needs to close up and go out of business!
