Tough time finding 2.5" affordable exhaust kit k10

[teamssc]

78 K10 long bed, 4x4


Goal: 2.5" Manifold back dual exhaust kit. Exit out the back, to the sides, and not under the body. I'd just as soon install it myself to save a few bucks.

Looking for just the pipes. I already have mufflers. I can find 2.25" kits for $125 and up. I can't find 2.5" kits for less then $312.99 (Flowmaster 17107). I can find some Pypes but they are higher. I've been reading this forum and others looking for at least a week to find the 2.5 priced reasonably.

I'm thinking my local muffler shop will do 2.5" with my mufflers for $300 to $400. They said low $400 if they supply the mufflers. At that time I didn't think to ask about the H-pipe and the 2.5" spec.

Muffler and H-Pipe vs X-Pipe. There are tons of threads here and all good info but no need to repeat those discussions here so I'll skip those specs.



Thanks
