why would you waste the time and money on a custom axle back? your not gonna get any power, and im sure w/e sound you end up with, you could get from a axle back thats already out on the market, and you would save alot of money.

He'd save money with his own DIY. ALL the aftermarket axlebacks are overpriced, especially if he doesn't need stainless. Don't know how much his muffler costs but I'd bet muffler + pipe + clamps + hangers < $75. Then to get it welded still < $125 I'd estimate.
You should use 2.25" pipe btw, don't need 2.5" unless going turbo.

mild steel = cheap and will rust
clamps? for every pipe? so he will hack off the flange from the mid pipe and use clamps? ghetto IMO
Pipe + custom bends + custom hangers. eh... w/e floats your boat

The proper clamps properly clamped
will work fine. Many quality exhaust systems are designed to be clamped.click for Dezod bolt-on exhaust
