350 Stock Exhaust Upgrade Suggestions ?
 

Planning on replacing the stock exhaust on my 71 GMC, 350 with original 2in ramshorn manifolds. Was quoted over $800.00 by local shop to build a dual setup. Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanks:metal:

I bought the Hooker dual exhaust kit from JEGS for my '72 -- Hooker #16621HKR,
along with a pair of the recommended Hooker #21005HKR mufflers. The grand total for the kit and mufflers came in around $300 or so at the time. Other than the fact that the mufflers are louder than I would like (wish I had gotten larger mufflers) I am very happy with this kit

Guess I got off cheap. I had a dual exhaust put on my 70 2 1/2" for $225 including mufflers and tail pipes. Might check around at a few places.

I agree....$800 seems VERY high ! Does that include buying the rams horn manifolds as well as the rest of the exhaust system ??

The cost will also depend on tubing used (galvanized vs stainless), how it is bent (mandrel - smooth bends vs standard exhaust tubing bender - crimped bends), if a cross-over is installed, if removable clamps/joints are installed to make the system removable vs fully welded, and quality of mufflers.
