I feel like I stole something! I called some exhaust shops and was told it would be about $700 to have a dual system ran. OOUCH!! It's been a long time since I had any exhaust done, but back in Florida I had friends that owned a Meineke shop and always paid less than $200 for a system. Since I wasn't going to spend $700 on a budget build I went searching for one of those exhaust bend kits to make my own when I stumbled across this......
Amazon.com: Thrush 89027 Dual Exhaust Kit:...
This is a premade, mandrel bent system with mufflers and an H pipe for $234 including shipping. Are you kidding me, that rocks!
It's oversized and overweight so shipping alone had to be expensive, I don't think anyone made any money on this one. When I got mine it said only two available and now it says 3 to 5 weeks for shipping, but if you need exhaust I like this one for its looks and its price. I will need to come up with a way to get from the manifolds to the pipe because the kit is designed for an old school small block with headers and I may see if I can get bigger mufflers since I want to be almost quiet, but other than that I'm very happy. I even held it up in place and it will clear the Blazer tank fine.
I also decided to move the engine computer out to the engine bay. I just couldn't get it to fit under the dash to my liking. I had a harder time pulling the wires out than I had putting them in since I didn't unplug the engine. I did get them out and now I have a bunch of wiring cleanup to do. I'm going to try and have it driveable this weekend, you know, so I can drive it to the paint shop.
