I'd probably go to jegs and get the short pipes that go from the h-pipe to the mufflers. Flowtech makes a set of 2 1/2 inch "starter tubes" for $29.00 (part#387-53609). Then I'd get everthing assembled and drive it to the shop so all I had to pay for was the welding. Even if you had to get a set of clamps to hold things together till you got there, they would only be a few dollars plus you wouldn't crimp any of the pipes as long as you didn't tighten the clamps down too much. I would think someone would do the welding for under $100. You could pick up a set of turnsowns at almost any parts store or even Meijer's, or the shop should have them.
