    Nightmare Exhaust Situation

    I've been crawling under my rover for the past few months and for some reason this never hit me until suddenly last night: I'm probably going to burst into flames one of these days.

    The previous own dropped in a corvette engine and routed the exhaust UNDER THE TRANSMISSION. Guess what leaks oil onto the hot exhaust pipes just after they leave the engine?

    If I were to get new exhaust plumbing put in from the engine all the way back to the muffler what should I expect to spend? I'm just trying to get a budget idea so I can figure out how fast I can have a custom shop redo it.

    Thanks!
