You found a shop that would mandrel bend for $40??
You did well my friend. I did the same mod but in 2" stainless so the diameter would match my headers. The flanges in stainless cost me about $80 from a place that can cnc stainless plate, a friend of mine bent the pipe for free, but he has a $50,000 piece of equipment that mandrel bends in his shop, and the install cost me $100 as I couldn't quite get it in there myself without the obligatory leak or two.
I was still happy with $180 as opposed to $500.
You are right, sound is better. Is your's a little more metallic in sound like mine? I quite like it as it sounds more like the air cooled motors now. I do think performance is up marginally too, and the weight saving is never a bad thing.
