ktmrider Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 So the exhaust pipe right after the header tore away from the catalytic converter and every thing is all rusted down there. I went to Monroe and middes and they quoted me 800 more or less. Is there a place that sells a oem bolt on system(from the header back) that a noob like me can put on for alot less? Please help me out here guys I can't afford 800 bucks for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfieMJ Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 You won't find a complete kit , but you will find all the individual parts for about $200 or less at rockauto.com . $800 is a retarded price , even for here in Canada . My ZJ 3" exhaust from the cross-over back was $350 with a Magnaflow muffler , and chrome tip . No cat though . You could look into a local "no-name " exhaust shop and get it done for about 1/2 to Midas touch , lol . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmrider Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 I jest checked out rock auto, man they got some good prices. If I buy the whole system in parts will any of it have to be welded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj21 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 See my thread just a couple down: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=30272 Looks like it will all be direct fit for $200. Just waiting for the parts to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock auto is a good place to shop for sure . Sometimes it's even worth my while to ship things from there vs local suppliers , there can be quite a price gap here in Canada . No , you don't have to weld anything provided the pipes fit together . The factory didn't . You could always use adapters if you had to . I have a cheap flaring tool that I use to "tweak" the ends so the fit better , but , I also weld . Use a high temp silicone liberally on each joint to help seal it and you will be good clamped . No worries , it's not going to burn off . Just wait till it's set-up before firing up :brows: Even if you could get it pinned together , you could always take it somewhere to be welded after for minimal cost . If you plan on getting it welded , don't bother to seal the joints with silicone . Always check out how much the garage would want to do something ahead of time , you might find out it's cheap enough to have them tack it together properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
