1loud, I'm in Edison. Trenton isn't that far from me.

David, ask your service manager if he'd take a 12 pack of his choice as a payment? lol

The exhaust is fairly easy to remove. Couple of bolts, tug on the hangers, and that's it. Just need to find someone who can do the weld job for me. Eh.

yup , sorry dude, i never learned how to use the welder ... im assuming u still have the stock piping on the car , i have a craftsman pipe expander and maybe use clamps to hold the mufflers, depends how big the inlet on your mufflers are. if you wanna go that route.

Hmmm, David, can I roll by tomorrow? We could probably have the pipes bent are your shop, and then I can have them welded somewhere else or something. What do you think?

Where could we get the pipes bent? I'm extremely low on cash right now, and I need to save every penny that I have.

go to autozone, buy their prebent pipe, cut and weld them together.
you could use clamps theoretically. some people swear by them, most people say avoid using them.
