Hi Dale,

My exhaust is all stainless, wasn't cheap. SS Header was custom done by a shop, it was $400. Everything else I built myself, I got the tubing from performance curve .com, they sell a piece that has a bunch of mandrel bends in it that you can cut and weld into the shape you want - that's what I did. Magnaflow resonator and built my own muffler:

This is for a rotary engine, so is probably overkill for an opel powerplant. I try not to think about the total, but it must be over $800.
Not sure if you would find a stock resonator or muffler in stainless...

HTH,

You're a skilled fabricator. Very nice, won't need a SS header so this may be a possibility. Thanks eh.
