Well after getting quoted outrageous prices to bend up an exhaust and with kits out of my price range (college student here ) I decided to take things into my own hands. I decided to fab up my own exhaust. check out the price list and let me know what you think.

500-18805 2 1/2" Hedman Hedders extensions $21.99
555-30004 Jegs 3" to 2 1/2" collectors $19.99
555-30651 2 1/2" H-pipe $36.99
555-30610 2 1/2" 4' section (2) $11.49 each
389-942541 40 series Delta Flows (2) $39.99 each
various clamps app $10.00
- $20.00 (gift cert)
- $26.00(racers disc)

I go the store which is five minutes from me and I saw an ad for it. If you are an NHRA member you are eligible. I would call and find out. I forgot, I had a set of turndowns.

whats up with all the one word answers? lol. I will Saturday. It won't be anything pretty, I only have limited skills but I enjoy doing things myself. I like the feeling I get when I do. I mean i rebuilt my own tranny, making my own exhaust and made my own sweet looking custom throttle linkage.

Unless you have your own hyd bender you will have a hard time making the transition from the "H" pipe to the collectors. If you take all your material to a muffler shop they will charge you around $60/hour to install and it will take them a minimum of 4 to 6 hours. I did the same thing and the labor was outragous. I am doing another job this time but using a complete prebent system and I still am having a hard time making the connection to the headers. Good luck!

the extensions already have an "S" bend in them and them seem to fit nicely around the crossmember and the h-pipe is adjustable. I think it will be ok.

I don't think you'll have any trouble. I made my own tail pipes to go around my Watts link. I knew the muffler shop wouldn't do it so I gave it my best shot. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and I'm happy with the way it turned out. The tips go out through a GT valance. I got mandrel bent pieces from Summit and some pipe here in town. Got out the saws-all and my Mig and got to it. It was so easy I'll be building my own pipes from now on.

Mock up Watts link with tail pipes
