Default 3" exhaust kit for 1995 318 Dakota

Does anyone know of a source for a mandrel bent 3" exhaust system for a 1995 318 Dakota Club Cab? All I've been able to find is a way overpriced 3" kit with muffler from Gibson and a 2.75" kit available from Dynomax, which is smaller than I want.

I've been thinking of just buying a kit from a 1997-2003 Dakota and modifying it (though I don't know how different it is) or making my own, but it's a pain in the rear if I do. All I want is the pipe as I want to put a Flowmaster 50 series muffler on it.

Thanks,

MattB

Nothing I know of. But I would say take it to a shop. My local shop gave a price of $600 for a full custom dual exhaust setup.

Thanks, but if it comes down to it, I'll fab my own. All the local jobs I've seen have crimp bent exhaust, which I don't much like the idea of. I have access to a welder and I've done it before, it's just a PITA. My Neon's 2.5" Dynomax kit went in so smooth I was hoping for something similar, but I don't want to give up the .25".

I'm sure if you ask the local shops if they can do mandrel bent, someone will be up to the task just for the business
