Broke drive shaft, ripped off exhaust, no money to fix, now what?
Like the title says. I broke the drive shaft, how I don't know but it did. The only damage it did was to my I pipe (before catback, gmmg) and my y pipe. I just did a whole lot of work to the car and am almost completely broke. This is the best deal I can find:

Anyone know of a better idea or a better place to get them. If I am going to go through the trouble of replacing the stuff I might as well make it worth my time. Thanks for any imput guys.

i think there's nothin wrong wit those headers theyre stainless and all but i think theirs a different set on ebay also stainless but its 449 with the y pipe. i cant open the texas speed link is it a DS? if its a driveshaft you could look for a stock one or i got my 3" chromoly from midwest chassis for 315 but i think he said the price was gonna go up a bit

I actually already had an extra drive shaft laying around so i'm covered there. I just need some help figuring out a relatively affordable way to get my exhaust back on it. Are there cheaper headers out there than the pacesetters? Not by quality, but just by price, like a mid length or something that would be better than what I have.

No pics but whats causing the problem is that the previous owner had replaced the cat and welded it to the i pipe so I can't just unbolt it and replace it. That having been said, when it tore up the i pipe it just kind of took the y pipe with it. I guess I will just go with the pacesetters.

I was getting on it kind of hard...I was in it enough to where it shifted at about 4500 from first to second and the shaft broke the ears off where the u joint mounts at the transmission side. I don't know how it happend, and to be honest I've actually never seen one break off like that. Ohh well, i got the shaft replaced. I guess this whole ordeal could have been avoided if I would have kept the shield on the bottom of the car, but I took it off because the gmmg was vibrating on it. Lesson learned though!

As far as the headers, I just ordered some of those Ebay ones from PitStop Tuning and they should be at my shop by Tuesday. If you want to wait until then I can let you know for sure what kind of quality they are at least through inspection until I get some time in a week or so to install them. I would also then have my stock stuff if you want that. I plan on dumping the stock manifolds and cat anyway so I could maybe quote you a shipping amount and work out a price on the stocker set-up if you want? Or I can just let you know what to expect from those PitStop dealies.
