Default how much to fab downpipe?

Can someone give me an estimate on how much it would cost to fabricate a downpipe if i take it to a shop? Ill provide the flange. i dont have a welder nor do i know how to weld. I already have the manifold and turbo so if they need that for reference then yeah.

also, pm me if you are willing to make me one. i will pay pretty good depending.

we can all make a downpipe....but can we make a downpipe that fits is the question. We'd need numerious precise measurements to do the fab in a different state.

fab rate where im from is 100 bucks an hour. You'll need to supply the bends because no one is going to carry mandrel bends. you'll need probably 3 bends at 20+ dollars a piece, straight ss piping...8-10 dollars a foot, o2 bungs (5 bucks a pop) And I would think it would take an hour for some1 not familar with tubing/dp fab to make a complete downpipe. so...with a rough estimate...I would say close to 250-300.

2.5 or 3 inch ?

$265 for 3 inch, with parts, no flex pipe
$220 for 2.5 inch, with parts, no flex pipe

We would need the turbo manifold here for mock up, we have all other jigs in place to have it bolt up pretty much to a stock exhaust, the downpipe sits in the same position as an OEM header.

that seems about right, so with a flex it is probably another $50? that is close to where i have mine priced. i'm only doing local stuff though.
