just wondering what an exhaust shop might charge to create a pipe similar to this one:

yes i borrowed that from the hahn thread

only reson im asking is because i want to try and get a feel for what it might run me...im hoping that small bit of pipe work wont cost more than 300...but i know itl be abit expensive to do because of labor(besides the shop owners friends with my dad and he installed my exhaust a while back for 80...so im hoping i can get a bit of a break) but yea just curious so if anyone migh have an idea let me know what you think

 

they usually just charge by how many bends and the diameter of the pipe. so i would say not much

 

are you shooting this pic from the botton of the car, or is thepic upside down?
is it on a turbo set up?

 

yes this is on a turbo setup and its laying under the car looking up at the back of the engine

hatrick....would you say somewhere in the ballpark of 2-300?

 

any shop with that can weld and has a pipe bender should be able to do this
and how big is the pipeing? its its just that small length?
if so around 300

 

just that section of pipe you see and they have a bender and welder

 

i'm thinking about the same thing so i could keep my zzp combo mostly intact lol if i decide to go turbo

 

yep thats why i wanna do it...bout how much though i wonder

 

yea if it's going to be as much to get a whole new DP made then just swap out the dp so you don't have to mess with things if you decide to change routes

 

yea...i doing it more so encase i have to take the turbo off for some reason...im mostly just curious of what it will cost

 

I just got my downpipe made yesterday for the turbo. It cost me $270cnd for the labour, bolts and flexpipe. The flex pipe didn't come in in time so he has to weld it in for me this week. They are a shop that my shop deals with so I got a bit of a break. He butt welded the mandral bends together and put the two O2 bungs in. It only has two bends, the first one at the turbo is a 90 degree, 2 1/2" piece and then right to 3" and then a 45 degree bend and back.

 

ok...so thats with everything welded in then...thats pretty good...hopefully i can make out the same or maybe less than what you were charged...im just hoping i dont have a fortune tied up in it

 

I forgot, that included fabbing up my dump pipe as well!

 

damn...thats even better

 

Pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm gonna start a thread with the pics pretty quick. I'm almost done now, kind waiting untill it's all finished.

 

how long did it take to fab up the pipe?

 

Not long really. Just picking away at it at work when I'm not busy really. Not done it yet though. Been busy.

 

o ok...you dont have the down pipe done yet? must have misunderstood you in your post earlier

 

I have the downpipe done, I meant I don't have the turbo charge pipes done yet.

 

o ok...well i took the car to the shop today and the guy didnt really now how to do it as he isnt experienced enough....so long story short i have to wait till march and ill get it dont then..im going to buy my ic and charge piping for now

 

yey for chopped, tight radius bends!

use them when you want a turbo to spool up fast!

 

I don't know if you're referring to me or not but if I had your money I'd have an awsome manifold like your and that problem would be sloved lol

 

i dont have money man, i just save for what i want.

 

That's what I should be doing lol. But it seems like when I save something comes up and the money gets spent on something else. Gonna try to save up and pull the engine next winter to do the internals and upgrade to a tubular manifold as well. That is if I don't blow it up by then

So in your opinion, how much quicker spool up would a manifold like yours have?
