Hi Phil
Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Exhaust pipes are usually totally custom fit. A muffler shop will not be able to do mandrel bent pipes for less than $1000. One of the ones in Houston wants $1500 and keeps the car for 3 business days (no weekend work on mandrel bent). 3 days and these guys do it all the time. It should take us weekend machanics a bit longer.
.....patience.....
