Probably a dumb question about mufflers / catbacks.

Nah, not really looking at a full catback, I can get the same **** made for much cheaper with fine fittings. Was just wondering if shops are able to do that so I wouldn't have to buy new mufflers. I will bring the midpipe to the shop and they're going to make me the 2.5" pipes from midpipe back.
 
im sure if you are gettin a muffler shop to make you tailpipes they wont be mandrel bent over the axel, i think they use a crush bender and the diameter of the pipe isnt a consitant 2 1/2'' therefore i belive you will not pick up many if ANY HP
