i called today to get a rough estimate for a full stainless steel mandrel bent 2.5" header back exhaust. i already have a header installed on the car, have the muffler i want to use, & have a high flow cat. the estimate was $700 for parts & labor. i already spent around 350 on the header, muffler, & cat. i dont have anywhere near $700 ready right now & my stock exhaust is hanging on by a thread. i was not expecting to hear a price like that. what should i do??

thats crap. they can use the flange off your old exhaust. you can cut the cost by not using stainless.
building a custom exhaust like that will take about 3 hours. typical rates are getting close to 100 bucks an hour so there is 300. as for parts thats a rip off. all you need is a few U bends and J bends and a 4 foot strait piece. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
