Too much.  The inconnel manifold/muffler was $1495.00 from Atkins - made by

  Makes me feel pretty good about the approx $200 I have invested in my 321
stainless exhaust system. These are built kinda like a "glass pack" without
the fiberglass. Total exhaust system weight is about 10.5 pounds (5 of that
is the RB flange). May still add some bracing but I think I will try it as
is at least through the taxi testing phase.

Looks great Mike. Simple stright and to the point. I really like it a lot.
IMHO the side outlet for the exhaust is the cool setup :-)

You will need a few hanger straps up to the intake manifold or the pipes 
might crack near the exhaust flange.

BTW get a Hooker header catalog as I think they sell SS bends cheaper
than Burns Stainless.
