There are not very many places around here that will custom fabricate anything. this is for my vega so they are going to be one off custom headers. i e-mailed the vette doctors in long island and said they can help me so we'll see i guess im going to try to call them today.

it will have to be very tight corners. i can give you a cylinder head to use if you need it to do the initial pipes to weld onto it...but what is your zip code? maybe i can see how far it is.

Some people would, but I'm too poor. It may be worth it, depending on what you're building. I have a hard time believing it's that damn much though, but then again, I just paid $1250 for a clutch.

oh yeah, i dont have the money, i know its expensive, i have a local shop that will do it all for 2600-2800 but then again...there is another guy that said he will do it for less and i argued with him online about showing me some of his work and he said he doesnt have to show me "****" but later he showed me some pics of a welded up roll cage he built and crap, id have to see more work first but like you said i get what i pay for id probably rather pay the 2600-2800 because it is a more well known show that is pretty big place and he sent me some pics of headers but one of the sets were crappy and the other set were absolutely beatifull!

dont get me wrong if i won the lottery id buy that exhaust but thats probably the cost of having a titanium exhaust built lol

it probably didnt help that the guy didnt ask me much on the phone about it. i dont need cats on it and like i said the car isnt that big of a car so there wotn be nearly as much pipe used and the only hard task would be the headers. maybe if they got more info out of me it would have been less.
