Default Exhaust Work

Just put the new motor in the 71. Figured while i`m at it to install a new 2 1/2" exhust system. The first mistake was buying a factory system from Ecklers and than planning to install Holley Afterburner mufflers (love the sound). Anyway they were not going to line up with the factory system. So I put the system together with a couple of 16" sections of flex and some adapters, just so I can fire up the new engine and get it to the exhaust shop. What you guys think a shop would charge to just pipe it out from right at the turn up after the rear to the mufflers and install the tips? can`t wait to fire this mother up!

Default your exhaust

I used to work in a muffler shop and it would prolly run 75 to 200 to do what you want. Also if they custom bend the pipe it would be cheaper than anything else.
