I need to hear you guys prices on custom exhaust work were you are. The headers will be on 86 Firebird, I have the 3" cat and Y pipe, and 3" crossflow muffler. How much did your exhaust work cost where you are?

Too much for too little that fit too poorly, no matter where.

Won't come anywhere close in price, function, or fitment, no matter who no matter where.

Used set of Hooker headers with a custom y-pipe from a member here,dropped right in with only 2 small areas needing a little massage $250,3" dynomax cat back from another member for $100 in like new cond.
Another $50 or so in header and collector gasketts and some new jed clampetts.
$400,plus a few swears and 25-30 Miller Lites to lube the install(er)

And I had to modify the power steering bracket + 6 more Miller Lites and some hardware

Sir,
What I meant was how much to it cost to have the exhaust fabbed up, and installed by an exhaust shop.

See post #2.

If any letter of any word needs further explanation, be specific which one, and I'll try to clarify.

Any pics on how the OEM power steering was modified to work with the new exhaust. I would love to avoid having to buy a bracket from Hedman, and keep the OEM one.

I didn't modify mine at all.

I stood it up on spacers made from water pipe, and used the stock hardware.

I think I used pipe from a old compressor and a stud,but pretty much what he did.

I bought a used Loudmouth exhaust, (lightly)used set of Hooker headers, and the local muffler shop run the rest for $100 'under the table' (no cat). Y-pipe to Loudmouth... they did a wonderful job!
I mounted the Loudmouth myself- just had to switch the mounts left to right, a piece of flex-pipe to get to the muffler shop.
