[QUOTE="Mark99GT, post: 16726702, member: 43741"] I'm trying to get this JBA H pipe (part # 6632SH) to fit my 97 Cobra. It's supposed to fit a 1996-04 GT/Cobra and it's supposed to be used with JBA's headers, which I knew in advance. So figuring I could make it work, I measured, cut the ends off, and expanded the ends to slip-fit on to the Bassani X pipe tubes that connect to the exhaust manifolds. Everything was going well; I test fit the pipes and the slip fit joints were perfect. But the whole alignment at the transmission X member and mufflers is way off. Stupid assumed the bends would be the same and I didn't lay the whole thing out prior to doing this and I now see the bends between the Bassani and JBA are pretty far off. I'd really like to fix it myself, but I just don't see any way around this in the garage without cutting and welding (I don't have a welder). If anyone has a non-welding garage-fix suggestion, I'm open to ideas. Do you think an exhaust shop could straighten out each bend near the O2 bungs and then re-bend to follow the lines of the Bassani? It's 409 stainless. I'd probably have to re-cut and expand the ends afterwards. I'm sure it'll look a little mangled from multiple bends, but at this point I don't really care, as long as it fits. Pop's Exhaust and Cromwell Automotive are about the only places I'm seeing for custom exhaust work. I'm looking to stay around the Hartford area if possible. At this point I'm probably getting close to the cost of an MRT H pipe.... Can anyone recommend an exhaust shop near central CT that could fix this? thanks in advance [ATTACH type="full"]1736381[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
