Versus bending to go back down the other side of the axle.
Did that make any sense?

mine has 1 small bend before the muffler, and 1 small bend after... get a muffler with an offset input/output... so the output is higher than the input... then it just has to bend up slightly up to the input, and out to exit between the leaf and frame.
i use a flowmaster 40 with 2.5" pipe and no cat.. sounds great... especially with headers.
..the larger the pipe, the deeper the sound will be.. i wouldnt use anything larger than 2.5" tho.

Well, mine comes straight off the cat, one bend up at about 45 degrees, muffler in place there, then one more bend 45 degrees to be come flat, it then passes over the axle and straight out under the bumper. I can do that since I have a body lift

Yep! Unless your local shop does mandrel bends, but usually they only do popular sizes like 2.5 and 3"... well around here at least.
If you use the crush style bends try to make a system with the least amount of bends. My system only has two bends in it (exits straight out back).

I got mine done at Budget in maple ridge. I took my sisters chevy to carline and they ripped her off. I always thought they were one of the best shops around, they will never get a penny from me again....

I've had Carline recommended to me by quite a few people for any exhaust work but haven't been myself. Maybe I'll reconsider. Did Budget do mandrel beding?

I too heard good things about Carline, by a few people, including a mechanic. Never again! Guys were total jerks to boot!
Budget didnt do mandrel bends. Since I only have two bends on the entire system it doesnt really effect anything

I have a Flowmaster on my 1989 3.slow for about 2 months now. My opinion, not that it is worth much, is the way it sounds sucks green slimy swamp water!
I would rather have the factory muffler back on it and will be changing it to something else soon.
