Hi Audrey, yes I do exhaust systems. I also have just finished my system. 2.5" twin stainless from extractors with 'x' pipe, expansion chambers & magnaflow mufflers. (351windsor) The supply agent is local (Osborne Park) They are one of my major exhaust suppliers for magnaflow. Has to be custom made. But that is what I do. My front suspension is modified slightly to Shelby specs (minor mod)

since the exchange rate for the US is terrible now, what would the price roughly be for something like that in aus?

Audrey, try Wilkinson Suspension in Bayswater. They have a good track record and have done work on a number of members vehicles. They also have a good reputation in the auto inductry.
Hope this helps.

+1 for Wilkinson, done a good job on a number of my cars and not scared of the unusual.  Also generally hold stock of bits that many don't bother holding.
