Not sure on the headers because those 65's are a little wacky. But as far as exhaust a decent exhaust shop can bend you up and hang a 3" system for 1/2 the cost of TTi. And you don't have to turn a wrench. And do you need 3"?
I totally agree. Also bigger isn't always better.

No, not in my book. I can buy headers and get my whole system done for what TTI gets just for their headers. I've heard good things about Summit's exhaust kits, but I've never used them personally.

NO BB car? If you are looking for headers, try Dougs D451 for B engine, D452 for RB engines IIRC. That's still a B body... tti has been jacking people for a LONG time on pricing IMO. And if tti says they fit... they might not... A body 4 speed guys know what I'm talking about.

I have a Sumitt 3" kit on my car w/ their turbo mufflers sounds good. Fit was good for what you pay. They are made to fit a bunch of years/models so you do have to do some tweaking. I paid a guy to tuck and weld them up tight. Still had far less in them than the TTi's

We should start a nationwide list of "Good Exhaust Guys" that do a nice job bending and welding pipe. I would sure like to know one within 50 miles of my area.(Warren/Youngstown, Ohio)
By the time the exhaust reaches the rear axle it has cooled down and contracted conciderably. I would concider buying 2 1/2" mandrel bent tailpipes and then have someone bend up 3" frontpipes.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Do I think TTI is worth it? YES. It took 15 years to afford it for me. I have installed 2 complete systems on both my cars now and it fit perfect, sounds great and don't leak. I had 1 system now for 10 years and it is still very solid. Can you get that at a local shop? Maybe if you have a good one nearby. Will his pipes last as long as TTI?, I doubt it. Will it sound like a TTI system? I doubt it. TTI pipes and headers are thicker steel which make the exhaust sound great, not tinny, I noticed it right away after replacing my cheap thin headers. What I like about the TTI stuff is it is complete with EVERYTHING needed. Great for a guy who hates to depend on other people to make his stuff sound nice and don't like to take his stuff to shops and leave it. Everything in one box with no extra trips to the parts store is worth alot to me. No welding and can be installed with reg hand tools. Great quaility clamps and hangers too! My 340 system is 2 1/2" and my 440 system is 3" and both fit perfect with no rattles or leaks. It is so worth it everytime I drive them and someone rolls up next to me and loves the sound of my cars, I get told that almost everytime I drive em.

Would I persoannly pay for TTI's ? , doubt it. But my customer just bought everything from exhaust manifold to stainless pre-welded tips for his Hemi cuda. Exterior is ceramic coated, thermal bearier insulated insides . total was just over $1800,,, he picked it up from Ben at Promax. he's happy and thats all I'm worried about. I'll have the car back on the lift by the end of the week,, Then I'll know how good or bad it fits

From a C body owner's perspective,the TTi's for your Fury are worth every penny.Go with the Dynomax mufflers included in the kit. I installed my system in 2006 with no hassles. No rattles or clunks. Just a nice deep tone and no resonating inside the car. I went with the 2-1/2" system which was plenty for my warmed over 440. The 3" system will be louder and will have a tighter fit.
