Re: How long does a custom manifold back dual exhaust system take to bend & install?

What people have to pay for custom exhaust now blows my mind. The guy that does all my exhaust work always goes from the manifolds/headers back in the pipe diameter I pick and it runs around $200. I supply the mufflers, he uses aluminized pipe. He's done it all his life and can tuck it up well and keeps it all symmetrical. The only downside is he doesn't have any 3" dies nor does he stock 3" pipe, so I'm going to have to buy a mandrel bent universal kit to bring to him to get my 79 done. I know I'm fortunate, from what I read here and elsewhere, it seems like he's the only one left still charging those rates. Forgot to mention, it only takes him about 1.5 hrs and I hang out under the lift shooting the bull with him while he works. Really cool guy with skills.
