I don't know of any, but I haven't looked before. I would imagine the Napa DC would have to carry something like that. Thats the really big Napa off of Laurel Road by South Billings Blvd. Many of the auto parts shops also carry 90's and 45's but I don't know if they are mandrel bent, and I don't think they are high quality.

I know you can buy just pieces from either Magnaflow, or Flowmaster. They would be mandrel bent fo sho'

I went to a shop called Silent Knight, The guy there told me only one place in town has mandrel bent piping, so I may just order it all. My guess is that one shop also inflates the prices since they probably order from the internet as well.
I'll check out Magnaflow and Flowmaster.... maybe I should get a little muffler as well just so I don't piss off the neighbors too much.

Silent Knight here in Bozeman is incredibly good so I'd definetely deal with him if he's related to ours at all.

I'll second that. Silent Knight in Bozeman has taken care of two exhaust issues for me. Both quickly and inexpensively.

I had to order my magna flow system.

The whole deal is that I'll be making my own system, I just need to find a distributor of pre-bent piping.

It will get old quick. Trust me. If you daily it or use it often it will get very old.
Roomates got a 330xi with a cat back that sounds uber sexy. If you've got the 3.0 I'd say just do cat back. His is still pretty loud.
