What to tell the exhaust shop.

For me, total including muffler, gasket with bolts, clamps and hangers, including shipping ($98.00), was $417.20. That sale price was $80.00 off their regular price. That was for a 2.25 system with HP muffler.
That was 2011. I just looked at their web site. All I can say is :wtf:. Apparently they've gone up a lot since then. And $200 shipping? Especially considering you're a lot closer to them than I am, I guess shipping has gone way up too.

Might want to check with TTI. Their early A body 2.5 inch dual exhaust system is only $750 plus whatever shipping is. Can't pull up their 2.5 inch slant six single price now, but surely it's a lot less. ???

Yes I've talked to them. No discounts. About $880 shipped. So double what you paid. All I saw at TTI was dual pipe systems. I went to Hughes Engines, who sells TTI, and found a A body 63-66 exhaust system for $430. I'm going to shoot them an email and find out more about what this is. It's TTI, and I'm sure single pipe. Thanks!
