Re: Cheap car parts?
You might want to try a local exhaust shop and see how much they'd charge to just build a basic system out of mild steel. Of course it'll rust eventually, but you should get a few years out of it.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

With the price of the direct fit replacement parts it's not worth going anywhere. You can replace that entire exhaust with parts that bolt right on for about $300 and that is from the manifold back with a new catalytic converter!!!

I was talking about his chevy nova. Walker exhaust makes a full replacement exhaust and that's the price they go for. Unfortunately they don't make any replacement parts for the 3/s
