I found a cheap 3" fatback that I'll hopefully be picking up sometime next week. However, I'm still looking for some headers and a Y-pipe to complete the exhaust. Im looking for something with 1-5/8" or 1-3/4" primaries, 3" collector, and no AIR tubes. I've only got a 305 now but if everything works out, I'll have a 350 in the car. I figured the 1-3/4" primaries would just allow more room to grow... such as a 383 down the road.

I found a set of SLP 1-3/4" headers and 3" Y-pipe for $300 but was wondering if anyone had anything cheaper.

Those SLP's were like $679 new and I "think" they are getting pretty rare. I have a set on my car right now (I may pull them and tig the air tube holes shut at some point). I haven't priced them in a while, but that doesn't sound unreasonable for them (they are stainless, but it's a 3 series stainless and they will rust, but not as bad as standard carbon steel).

I think you meant to say a 4 series stainless (as in 409).

The 3 series stainless grades (304, 321) are the ones which will not rust, but some think that they are also more brittle in a high heat exhaust app.
Don't know for sure about that one, but it could be likely due to the higher nickel/chromium content (what also makes it shine better).

This is one of the only things I do not like about the current Magnaflow cat-back systems (they are mostly 409 series).
They used to be 304 (I believe).

Ah crap. Well, I have a pound of 308L tig rod for the exhaust work that I can't do with that rod on 4 series stainless. I was thinking they were 3 series and I bought tig rod for the job, guess it's a good thing that I hadn't had the time to weld it yet. Oops.
