Default Help help. question about custom exhaust pipes

THE STORY:
ok so on my way to class this morning, a weld(the front weld on the stock resonator) on my stock pipes completely rusted out. so now i'm in dire need for a new exhaust. well i was plannning on going with maybe a ws catback, or custom pipes with maybe like an es oval exhaust. but now i have no time to wait for a catback so i need to get the pipping done now. so i called up a local shop and he said he could do 2.25" pipes from the cat back for 175 plus weld on whatever muffler i bring. but when i asked, he said they were not mandrel bent pipes. so what should i do? say no cuz they arn't mandrel bent?

CLIFF NOTES:
exhaust broke this morning-i need a new one
shop can do 2.25" pipes from cat-back for 175
pipes are NOT mandrel bent

QUESTION:
should i say no because they are not mandrel bent?

is it a small hole?
cuz maybe you can get some cheap exhaust patch stuff from a auto store and fix the hole temporarily until you save up for a decent system...

Straight Dragster style y0o..... I would look around for a stock mid pipe, 175 is not worth crush bent piping. Just save for the WS cat back

well i just got another place to match that offer.but with something better

so now i've got mandrel bent 2.25" pipes from the cat back for 175 with a lifetime warrenty on all parts and labor. now i just need to find a muffler.. which really worries me cuz i'm afraid that they might only have fartcan ones. and i really only want something low toned and quiet.. like the apexi ws
