    It's trying to prove causation that's the problem.

    exactly, because that is what their highly paid lawyers tell them to say. They have enough money to squash anyone or tie it up in court for years, for who wants to legally challenge them as well.

    No exhaust shop has a mandrel bender or stainless sitting there to make it for you. Your stock exhaust is not mandrel bent and unless you got some really hot rodded motor in which you are squeezing every last available HP out of it's not needed nor will you be able to tell the difference. The normal aluminized pipe that shops have to make pieces will do just fine also.

    If you must have mandrel bent stainless you'll need to order lots of 180* "U's" and several straight pieces and then pay them lots extra labor to cut them up and piece them together and weld them. But you also are not going to get a shop that has a TIG machine with any stainless filler and is just gonna mig it with standard wire and those will still rust soooooooo...........

    Most driveway sealer is made out of coal tar, so liquid version of that fly ash crap. Another reason why I can't stand ashphault driveways. You can get sealer without it but it's double the price.

    Do they use that crap around here? I haven't seen too many non concrete driveways, it seems to be concrete, gravel or the front yard if I even really pay attention haha

    Gravel is the best route around here by far just because of our soil type and the typical weather variations throughout the year.

    I thought the trd exhaust was stainless ? if so I want at least to stay with stainless ... mandrel bend is a wish but not necessary your right performance wont matter but either way if anyone knows a good shop let me know.

    Your money. Wasted down here in NC though. No reason for stainless unless you just like telling people you’ve got it

    If you have the TRD cat back exhaust part is stainless other than that newp. Still you missed the part about the welding and no one having stainless pipe on hand sitting ready to make some exhaust and having to buy pieces for them to weld and piece together. My reroute is literally 3 pieces a custom y to enter the muffler, and one piece to go to the DS and one piece to attach to the PS. My truck sees a lot of offroad use and no rust with the exhaust shop aluminized special. With wanting to do what you are doing there will be a shit ton more joints to weld and many more non stainless weld sections that could crack and leak or rust. Soooooooo...........
