Sorry it took so long to respond, I got my 2.5 inch mandrel bent kit from MA Performance, for some reason it took them a long time to get the order sent out, but once I got it I can say I am pleased with the product. I choose the kit because it was 16 Gauge wall instead of the 18 gauge stainless and it was 304 Stainless instead of the more popular 409 stainless. I recently learned about the classes of stainless and the 400 class stainless (which most exhaust is made from) is more corrosion resistant than steel but it surface rusts over time given the conditions. 300 class stainless is the most corrosion resistant and is a higher quality stainless. MA performance claimed the kit was made by squirrelly performance. They offered a couple different sizes of kit and individual bends as well which i thought was neat. I used Magnaflows for my mufflers. and I can say it has turned out really nice so far. I will try and get some pictures taken and posted.

These are the 2.5 inch corvette center dumps with alternator mounts.

Anyone try this route with their K-series? Either on a K10 or K20? The PO had the exhaust run under the transfer case on mine. I got this picture off the web.

IIRC, the pic is how the OE stock exhaust is routed.

It routes over the t-case. Not much room with 2.5"
