TTi exhaust kit, or haul it to the muffler shop?

I've spent (Invested?) about $20,000 on my project and the hardest check I signed was for my TTI system. I held off on that for MONTHS because I couldn't justify paying almost $1,300 for headers and pipes. Until they arrived....

God forbid anything happens to my car and I don't install them, but I'll hang `em on my living room wall: They are BEAUTIFUL! And going by what EVERYONE says installation is almost as easy as opening the hood and throwing them in. But my car is a ground-up resto. If your screwing together a car that's far from perfect, or something you may not keep, go for the universal kit or a shop-fabbed system.

I plan on being buried in my car. What's YOUR long-term plan?
