there is a thread on here somewhere about piping in SS 3" tubing for about 200.00 i'd go that route... >

front pipe
mid muffler (resonator)
Muffler at tail end
misc hangers
one seal
clamps for pipes

Where's the thread on SS 3" tubing? Is 3" too large a diam?

I guess, the only connection I have to worry about is the first one, near the engine (as far as the dismantle part of the job)....
