If they make it, its not going to be mandrel bent they just use that cheap wrinkeled crap. Some of those places sell complete magnaflow cat back systems which are pretty good, but more than likey they'll tell you that they have to install it and they'll charge some rediculous price for labor when you could do it yourself in 30 minutes. I personally hate those damn places half the time they screw something up or try to rip you off, so if you decide on Midas or Mieneke don't say I didn't warn you. Just get a catback like Greddy, thermal or Apexi WS off the internet and install it yourself. Whats wrong with groupbuycenter.com alot of the times they have the lowest prices.

Yes it will if they have a mandrel bending machine like a lot of the midas/meinikee's around me (there are over 15 of them in a my area and 4-6 of them have mandrel bending machines)

Also if they don't just go up a 1/4-1/2 and inch in size and the crimps in the metal won't matter.

YES SOME OF THESE PLACES RIP YOU OFF. THAT'S WHY YOU TALK TO THEM FIRST GET THE PRICE WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER AND BE SURE THEY KNOW B4 HAND ANY CHANGE TO THE BILL MUST BE APPROVED BY YOU FIRST.

Just a side note... mandrel bent isn't all that important. (do you really think a N/A 4 cylinder really has to worry about moving those exhaust gasses out that fast and smooth?)

Oh and to get a dealers license you have to be a business (ie have a tax id #) from there on im not sure but im planning on doing some looking into it. if i get any further i'll start a thread
