Do it yourself and save the $$$. You just need to get it up in the air a little.

Oh! Oh! I can! I can! It will be about a 2,000 mile drive round trip but...

I suggest you might get better responses in the local forums. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/southwest-44/

Bring it here to Texarkana, about 5 hours. I will help you. I have a shop and a lift.

Houston's big. If you don't mind driving and if Victor Sellens is still there (was in '14, and started the biz), VZ Autoworks in Tomball is the person I've seen recommended. He formerly worked at Corv. of Houston, too.

I would say if you can get it 18"-2' in the air, you can probably do it. As long as the old exhaust is not welded on, only thing you should need is a few wrenches.

You can make some ramps using 2x10's. 1-8' 2x10 will make 4-2' long pieces (or you could make them only 1' long, just to put under the tire), almost 2" thick. You can stack these on top of each other, jack up the car, put the ramps under the wheels, until you get it high enough to change the exhaust. Probably less than $100 worth of lumber, a few hours, and your done.

I used a jack and jack stands for rear and ramps for the front. Front up 8", rear up 18". Higher is better! You should drop entire exhaust from cats to rear is the easiest way.

Any shop should be able to do it. It is a simple bolt on. 4 13mm bolts in the rear, 2 clamps, and 2 vacuum lines. Beyond easy. At most it should be ~3 hours labor to do. I did it in my garage on ramps in about 2 hours. No cutting of stock exhaust.
