Probably more than a cat back would cost. Also, you can buy prebent I-pipes at summit for like $100 if I recall correctly.

I would think it would be cheap.
Most shops charge "x" amount per foot of exhaust pipe, and "y" amount per bend.
Call around ask ask the rates, then do the math.

Places like Meinekie don't usually have the equipment to fab up mandrel bent pipes.

Buy a catback instead of muffler shop crap.

The Dynomax catalog shows p/ns 45593 and 42273 for the pipes between the cat and the muffler for their 3" 93 - 95 Camaro catback. If you can get those parts separately they may work for you.
