Default Any welders out there?

I want to do a new exhaust for the R/T. I was gonna pick up a welder and learn how to do it and try to do it myself, but then I realized I'm lazy and it might be better if I found someone who already knows how to weld and has the equipment and then just slip them a few bucks to do it

Here's what I'm looking to do, pretty simple really. Dual 3" with an h-pipe and dumps. I'm gonna buy all the pieces (including the h-pipe t's), so all that needs to be welded would be two collector flanges, 10 joints, and hangers. Any takers? Here's a quick drawing of what I'm looking for, pretty much just two 45* bends and then straight back and down:



I'm gonna be traveling a lot for work this first quarter, so I'm not sure exactly when we'd be able to do this, but we could work it out, just figured I'd see if anyone out there could do it, and how much you'd want for your time/effort. Thanks.

I can't weld... but I do happen to know somewhere in Roanoke that you can get all of your piping, flanges, mufflers... etc...

Mandrel bent? I already have the mufflers, was just gonna pick up the piping/flanges and h-pipe kit from e-bay and Summit, looking at about $100 for everything. If your source is mandrel and can beat the price, hook a brother up

as for the welding, I've only welded once. I think it would be funny if I did your exhaust.

So long as it doesn't leak, I don't really care what it looks like, it's under the truck

No hurry, sometime before April would be good I'll be in cali for a couple weeks for work (leaving next week), and it's gonna take a lil while to get the parts. So anytime after the beginning of Feb, should be ready to go.

We build custom exhausts regularly, that would be no problem.
