just go to an exhaust shop. prices will vary depending on the shop. go for the one with a good reputation not just price

My stainless snorkle cost me about $400... It sounds expensive i know, but an aftermarket plastic one can cost that much, so i didn't mind outlaying the cash, plus i think it looks awesome... came up like a mirror!!!

here's the breakup of what it cost...
$300 - Snorkle fabrication from exhaust shop - 2 1/2 inch pipe. They cut the hole in the quarter panel and supplied a hose reducer from 3 to 2 1/2 inches from the air-box
$80 - to polish snorkle at chroming shop
$20 - installation of 2 No. nutserts with bolts, got this done at a toolbox fabrication shop, cos you need a special machine to install nutserts, very similar concept to pop rivets.
$3 - Hose clamp from supercheap
$5 - some pinch mould from clark rubber

it took about 30 mins to install it once i got it home...

why don't you find a place near by to you that does mandrel bending get them to quote you to bend it all up then just get someone to weld one or two lugs on it.
