if your buddy works in an exhaust shop, he should be able to fab you up an H pipe way cheaper than buying one

just as good if's he's any good at fab work IMO

steeda makes an h pipe adapter which will need to be welded on, and i wouldnt run with no mufflers.

and you can buy the mandrel bent pieces from places, im not sure of anywhere specific but someone else will know.
