Need your help bad!!!

I just got my new heddman headers put on my 86 iroc with 305 TPI and I was supposed to have gotten my 2.5" true dual setup put on at the local exhaust shop and then they decided they didnt want to do it, so now I am stuck. My car is sitting at the shop with no exhaust and I already have the mufflers and tips, because it was supposed to be no problem for them. I've went to a lot of local shops and none of them will do it. So what im asking is, WHAT DO I DO????

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Go to Harbor Freight, buy a $150 flux core wire welder, practice on some scrap pieces, and put it in yourself.

yeah that would be easy if he had a bender. i don't know where u live but i think ur only choice is to keep looking for a shop that will do it. no one makes a bolt on kit for us to run duals and L/T's on our cars. u might even have to travel way out of ur town or even worse. out of state.

dyno max makes a 2 1/4" kit. but its for shorty headers or fact mannifolds,not to mention its only 2 1/4" pipping,wich imo isn't worth it at all.

If u want it done right it should have mandrell bends, u can buy mandrell bends if u wanna be bold and give it a shot, and i bet if u mocked it up anyone would weld it(if u dont weld) Or do the easy thing and call em a bunch or pansies and then call around and find a race shop that will do it

Guess I read "mufflers & tips" and assumed pipes as well.

Search for mw66nova's set-up. He used purchased parts that he welded together.
