Re: Time for new exhaust for the 58

You have some good go to exhaust shops in that area. I'd find out which one does good work for an honest price and have them do it.

Years ago I bought the mufflers and tail pipes to fit the 70 long bed that I had though my work at warehouse price. That is the lowest price available as I worked for a parts house that was also a warehouse and was able to buy my parts at their cost. Didn't get paid much per hour but had some nice bennies. Even at those prices and just having the muffler shop install the lead pipes from the headers to the muffler I figured out that it would have been cheaper to have that shop sell me the mufflers and bend the tail pipes. Exhaust is one of those items I will farm out rather than do myself.
