I found a mandrel bending shop to do my exhaust plumbing for $400.

I will be using Neil's headers from Australia ($550), Metal-substrate cats ($110 each), High-flow mufflers ($90 each), an X-pipe ($70), and new header gaskets ($60).

Nothing has been done yet as I am waiting on the headers to be delivered with my R154 five speed kit from Australia, but my exhaust bill will be ~$1500.

I haven't found anybody sporting these on their car but I'd be interested to see how they hold up, I know guys running OBX LSD's with no issues at all.

I realize this, but that is still a LOT of flow capacity.

Meh, its not bad either. I had a 3" catback single on my SC way back in the day when it was bone stock and it made more power everywhere.
