lol, it's in not spending a bunch of time doing something that you'll rarely see, and being able to enjoy it quicker, because the guys that know how to do it can get it done in a fraction of the time. I hated having to do anything with the exhaust on my jeep when I had it. replacing pipes at the dealer was only slightly less unpleasant, because it all bolted together like it was supposed to. I imagine trying to figure bends and angles out for something like that would be a lot like hell. lol
I totally get what you are saying. working on my own crap is like therapy for me. the last full exhaust I built from pipe sections I bought at a speed shop in Sacramento except the two stainless magnaflows I bought for $40 used. it only took a day to cut and weld it all up. I like the meticulous detail stuff. probably explains why I'm sanding perfectly good paint off my trucks frame only to repaint the whole thing. I have issues

My last 3 projects I made the exhaust the Dime and Chevelle got 2.75” EMT and Willy got 3” aluminized pipe. The last complete system I bought was for the A4 to the tune of over a grand. That cured me.

lol. $3k for an exhaust? That bitch better be all titanium, with v-band clamps at every joint.

Had a quote of $2k for the vette as true duals and their mufflers not the ones I wanted, made by a shop that claims they would fit my car not built for my car with hookers and a 700r4..I passed on that and the "kits" everyone sells and built a polished SS with my mufflers for less than a grand paying my bro in law to tig weld the system for me.

you can buy from the cab over the axle and exit behind the rear wheel in 2 1/2" flowmaster on ebay for $135 duals just find a site that takes an offer otherwise $144. plug in your mufflers and you only need 2 custom bends from your hedders to the mufflers.

Yup. Not on this truck but on the dime and the Chevelle. 2.75” it thickness yields a nice tone to it.

Mig. Just grind off the galvanizing and don’t have your face in the smoke stream. Lol

damnit, just called my supplier, its $35 a stick for 2.5" emt right now. that's not much cheaper than aluminized pipe of the same diameter. I'm going to call a few electricians and see if they have any shorter fall off that they'd sell for cheap.
