4" food grade 304 stainless.
4" then splits to twin 3" to gain ground clearance.
It has about 50-60 hours of work involved and about $1000 worth of materials.
This one of the best Pipe welding I have seen.:biggrinbo I love it
Top notch fabbing and welding. Looks damn good.
*Hater Mode* Overkill. Mandrel is better. All show no go? I'm just jealous.

$1000 in materials? I know a couple guys said thats a pretty good deal, but i'm not seeing it.
The 304 stainless I can get 6' long tubes of for under $100. V band flanges are about $50 for stainless. Only remaining factor are the mufflers. I mean keeping in mind that you did all the welding your self and didnt pay someone to do it right? I would see the materials costing me maybe $600, accounting for 18' of pipe and like 4 V bands. Not sure how many V bands you use. Do you have have a metal fab connection or did you have to buy all the materials at retail?

V band flanges may be cheap but the V band themselves are around 150 each. (At least it's what I paid for mine.) Making an exhaust, the costs can vary depending on what materials are used and which company they are purchased from. I have everything from Burns so things get pricey really quick. Ask Ron, Slow66, Nate or anyone on that stuff.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the V bands them selves. I'll have to look that up. I get that fab stuff from Vibrant, and I have a VERY good Vibrant account
It IS a nice exhaust tho!

I hate the look of almost every aftermarket exhaust. This is a f*#($# work of art. I would never want to even kick pebbles upon it.
The sexiest MK3 exhaust ever created. Period.

Very nice exhaust, very similar to the setup on Stanzaspeed's car, that my brother made a couple years ago.

When it was built 3 years ago the Canadian Dollar was $1CND to $.58USD. It ad's up fast when building a car that way.
Thanks for all the positive comments guys. Cost did not play a large role in building this. I wanted something different and something of the highest quality I was able to get. I got what I wanted and am glad you guys all like it.
Yea i defiantly have that video in my favorites on youtube. Love how it sounds. Looks great. I dont think I've seen pics of this supra. Post em up. I'd like to see how it looks. Maybe some engine shots too.
