I've shipped many packages per day via UPS for the past 17 years. Only one
shipment in that time has been delayed by anything other than extreme
weather. Check with the shipper and get a tracking number. BTW isn't an AAN
a little heavy to ship Via UPS?

You are putting an AAN into an 80 q and worry about the cost of an exhaust?
Trust me, that will be a minor issue.

Excellent manifold and down pipe ... for the normally aspirated I-5, but not
relevant to the AAN.

If you are on a tight budget stick with the stock AAN manifold.

Match it to your exhaust.

Probably 2.25 - 2.5 inches, but it won't work on your car anyway.

What parts do you need? Intake manifold, water manifold, intercooler, oil
cooler, brackets for the power steering pump, a hood? Do you plan on keeping
the AC?

Apologies for being cynical, but you have much bigger issues than the
exhaust to work out. email me privately  or call me at 719 275 1661 during
the workday ... misery loves company :-)
