For me to build another one or for you to build another one? Summit racing sells the pipe for about $18.00, the stainless tips are around $30.00 and the larger pipe for the resonators is about $10.00. Any local guy with a welder and drill press can make it for you. The inside pipe is 1 7/8" and the outside pipe should be 3" or greater.

Thanks! I think I can find someone local that can weld this.
Question; how did you fit the new exhaust up to the cat-back tubes? Weld again?

After the cats, the factory has a small u-shaped tube in each side and the new exhaust just slides into them and clamps on. It will make more sense when you take the old muffler off. It's quite easy to fit a new one.
