Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Who in C-town here can custom make me an exhaust without anal raping me? Looks like I can get he tubing roughly for 3" stainless for around $200ish. Maybe less. I need someone to cut it and weld it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah.. that's what I pretty much want to have done. Just get the pieces and have it fabbed up. I'm just not looking to spend $200 in labor costs to get it cut and welded. It's just a single exhaust and one muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 how many bends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hard to say. if I wanted to guess. 2-3 90* bends. Maybe a 45*. it doesn't look TOO bad. I'll see if I can get a pic of an exhaust already done up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Rob.. it's almost like this. except, lop off the entire left side of the exhaust. I'd only want/need the pipe going to the right. http://www.childstracks.net/staticpages/images/gmpp.jpg Here's a halfway decent vid I took like in 03. http://bucky.kicks-ass.net/movies/exhaust/exhaustlook.wmv Lop off the left side and that's what I need.

Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 thats 6 90's.....from what i see...is this right? and it being stainless, it should be tigged! Maybe I don't need stainless? I dunno. I just want a cheap 3" mandrel exhaust . the 2.5" press bent sucks and I want ot get rid of my cutout and drop some weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 if you buy the mild steel stuff from jegs, 3" 90's. 6 of them plus a lenght or two of 3" tubing it can be done, but it would take most of the day to get it right, to where it wont rattle etc. and would be much easyer on a lift. and if someone told you $200 in labor thats not that bad of a deal...im thinking maybe 4-6 hours min to do something like that!plus you would need some (what we call )candy kanes to use for the hangers..if you cant us the factory stuff...what kind of time frame you looking to have it done in?

Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Not sure on the time frame. Just trying to get a rough idea on price that's all. I just threw out there the $200 on TOP of the cost of the parts. Just wasn't looking to spend that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 it would be next weekend before i could get to it, and thats weather premitting! and id say around $125-$150...just as a rough idea.lmk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls1plus Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Jaime at Mccoys 4x4 in Grove City. Or Herb at Herbs Hot Rods off 316 near 104. Both have lifts and both have done my exhaust work for years. PM me for a number if needed/wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maximus DM Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Buck, Call Joe at Research Alloy on Goodale and ask if they have any 3" 304L tubing. I know they generally keep 2.5" 10' lengths and sell it by the lb. The last time I was in there I bought a 10' piece of 2.5" 304L for under $25. If you're lucky to catch them after they've purchased scrap from a closing dairy farm (which is not that often), you can find mandrel bent 3" .065 wall tubing with 90* and 45* pieces already welded up. Also, Tubular Techniques sells mandrel bent 90* and 45* pieces, but they are expensive. Last time I checked the 90* ones were $40 a piece. You can arc weld stainless with a BlueMax rod, but it does not come out nearly as nice as TIG. I have access to a TIG, but it is quite hard to master.

Buck531 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I might wait until next year to do this. How about welding up one of these. http://www.drgas.com/store/product.php?productid=21&cat=14&page=1 this would go on the end of my header to the rest of my exhaust.
