You might as well go all the way and get some awesome headers and exhaust.

(or you can go used like someone suggested, but if you're paying for the labor...)

Agreed, doesn't bother me one bit. I have a 65 cobra roadster (factory five) with side pipes, so that smell just reminds me of fun times.

Oh, and that $2700 quote is absolutely ridiculous. Just pick up some stock headers from the forum for a couple hundred bucks and take them to an Indy shop. Should be around 8 hours labor. You should have less than $1000 in this. OR, if you can wrench, do it yourself... many members have. Bottom line, do not pay $2700! I could buy you SuperSprint headers and install them for you for cheaper than $2700.

+1 - you can find used sets all day here for VERY cheap. See what the labor cost is if you supply the parts.
