This is Hot Rodding 101. Learn by doing. Yes, you can't do it w/everything because of budget related concerns but some costs are getting outrageous for the return.

A buddy got a true dual exhaust from the 2" manifolds to 2.5" exhaust pipe. They used a 2.25 cut of tube & welded it to the 2" tube. Then, they topped that w/another piece of 2.5" tubing. It looked like a christmas tree of tubing & weld. Tubing, mufflers, tips out to the bumper was almost $450 😳 .

I did his full SS exhaust for less than $400. No christmas trees included & it polished out beautifully.
