Thats cool!   IT looks like the front of the car is on fire...haha. 

[racereaper7]

ya im not sure what that is, its an old picture. i think the film got something on it.
ya i thought it looked like flames too

[racereaper7]

some pictures from work what do you guys think,my first time looking at it (good look). did an oil change too
nothing new yet, getting ready for winter-maybe next year. took the car for a spin,first time on the streets. it ran pretty good for still needing work. engine seems to be running ok but ? dont want to push it to hard because of suspension needs work and needs to have brakes rebleed

[racereaper7]

what do you guys think about dynomax? found a kit on there for everything (engine-back) for about 900. i was just browsing around.

[HOMER]

i think the pypes kit is cheaper than that but im not sure?

[SoonerTA]

The Pypes kit is cheaper.  I have the pypes kit with Race Pro mufflers.  Do some checking around at your local shops.  I know you could get it cheaper having someone build it for you. 

[racereaper7]

they wanted about 1500- i think for header back.
which would be a good header brand to go with? is it hard to remove the header back system?

[SoonerTA]

Tey wanted $1500 to bend you an exhaust system?  Thats CRAZY!  Way too much!  Did that include the headers with installation?

[T/A Kid]

Mine was $400 from exhaust manifold back two flowmaster clone mufflers. Sounds like you need to check some more shops for prices. I supplied the exhaust tips.

[racereaper7]

ya theres not many in my area.if i remember right at meineke wanted 1000+ to make a replacement exahust system from manifold back (nothing special done to exhaust=stock)
*my dad went in the other day to get his car looked at (98 malibu) and they want i think 800-1000 (from mainfold back)-i brought in my work and took a look when replacing his front tires and all he needed to replace was the muffler,exhaust pipe from muffler to exahust,taill pipe (v6).got all the parts new for 120 and i got a buddy at work to help cut off the rusted bolts on exhaust and install new parts. just saved about 880.

[racereaper7]

im just looking at exhaust systems right now,to late in the year to do it now. just wanted something that i could possiably install easily? and sounds good.its kind of hard to find systems for the olds 403 in the trans am.
-was looking to make it true duals/true exhaust (like the pontiac setup,not two into one and back)
