Stan,
Can't speak for all but I imagine that the pipe sourcing, bending and cutting
can be done locally at a qualified muffler shop. Ditto the brackets or
hangers. The whole thing can be clamped together with SS clamps. To me the
challange would be getting the 2 pipe down pipe splitter made in 2" that would
seal to the manifold. If that can be provided then, I would think it wouldn't
be too tough even here in AL. All you would need is the few components and
some drawings on the routing (for beding) and simple intructions.
What do you have in mind?
Lou

Based on what I am reading here there is some demand for a TR6 system that
flows well, sounds appropriate for a street car driven on long trips (ie
doesn't require you to wear ear plugs), wont rust and can be put together with
a good off the shelf header and doesn't cost $2000.
It seems this can be done if you have the time and the resources and someone
local that can fabricate the missing bits (ie another Project) but if you want
to buy something as a system it is either going to be too loud (Monza) or too
inefficient (standard TR6) or too expensive for now (Rimmer).
Assuming you have a header and you have a SS muffler how difficult is it to
find someone that can fabricate the intermediate bits (pipe, brackets,
hangers) in SS ?

Mike and others:
I am running a kingborne 6-3-1 stainless header into a single 2 < inch
custom pipe exhaust with a short dynamax turbo muffer. It all runs down the
passenger side for a clean straight exit and better weight distribution when
driving alone :-) I had the system built at a local muffler shop with a
reputation for making great custom exhausts on hot rods. The system
includes custom brackets that I can unscrew so the exhaust system can be
taken apart easily. No welding! It sounds great without being too loud and
the muffler is known for great flow. I can easily swap out the rear muffler
section with a straight pipe when desired. I went with a single pipe system
based on performance numbers from J.K. Jackson. FYI My latest engine is a
68 TR250 motor that has been heavily modified.
