Don't expect it extremely fast, I work 7 days a week basically and have to come up with about $500-600 to get all the material but after I have that it shouldn't take me more than a few days to fab up. I'm hoping towards the end of next month I will have it ready to start cutting and welding.

My other car came with a titanium cat-back stock, and lots of those guys modify it to put in bypass pipes.
All I know from reading their posts is that it requires special shielding work to weld that stuff. If you're having any welding done, you'll need to find someone that can/has worked with it.

"All the fab work will be done by myself and my dad since welding is about as easy as changing oil to him lol."

My dad was a cert. welder in the navy back in vietnam and builds $150K+ hotrods now for a living, he's going to be welding it for me. not worried about anything at all in that area.
