Custom exhaust or exhaust kit?

Local muffler shops want an arm and leg for carp work. 10+ years ago I started buying mandrel bends from places like SPD and Columbia River and haven't looked back. Was in a jam one time and had the supposed best in the area build me a system. I asked for one specific feature, and didn't get it. They went out of their way to make what I wanted to do not possible. That's the last job that they will ever get from me. The father was a good dude, the son, not so much.

This is the system for the Valiant getting painted:

The system that I built for "Snowball" (FSB) using amazon sourced SS tube:

Won't be doing that again, that stuff is carp to weld.
