If you're talking about having a local pipe bender do it, it shouldn't cost that much. I had a custom pipe, 1 high flow cat and a turbo muffler put on my 84 GS for $150 when I got the stock crap removed. It even passed NJ inpsection.

I think going under the axle is a bad idea. Sounds like a "welded shortcut". Go over and use flanges. IMHO

Haha.... Paul (Vohaul) did that with his 85 GSL when he first got it.... cut the stock exhaust off, gave it to me, and put his header on.... drove to the shop, got the bottle and muffler welded on, and called it a day
