Get a bolt on, for only 300hp goals its all you need and benifits are great vs the price. You start going into custom sizes of piping, length and design and you are look to spend some bucks to have it made, not to mention the amount of noise created would be to great for any kind of street use.

what exhaust shop are you using?!?....racing beat is $700+, other companies are OUTRAGEOUSLY priced as well....the most I ever paid for a full exhaust...manifold back....was $180(duals on my 88 GXL). i usually get it done for about $160 for single.

RB header, custom made per Paul Yaw's specs, buy a RB collector flange, and have a exhaust shop weld you up a single exit system. I paid $80 to have my exhaust built. thats did not include header, flange, or gaskets..or the Magnaflow ceramic muffler. I do not use a cat.

Total price with everything was around $400...for only 2 bends in the entire system.

I also had the exhaust mounting pionts put on, so 1 person can take it off, it takes me about 5 minutes, and its down...no help needed to get on or off..
