Eventually I am going to get Hedman headers and Flowmasters, but my exhaust tubing is rusted out. Would it be better to buy a complete exhaust kit from LMC and modify it a little, or make my own from tubing? How involved would it be, and what tools would be needed? Thanks

What I did, was buy the headers and mufflers, then I took down to the muffler shop and had the guy do my exhaust for me. It cost $100 and turned out great. Just a thought.

I'd do what cali_surfer did. The amount of money that you're gunna have tied up in tools, material and time will be much more than having someone else put it on.

I agree even though I'm doing my own. I got stainless tubing for a song and I'm going in front of my rear wheels so I figured it's gonna be easy and cheaper for me. I probably won't do another one though.
