Because single exhaust head pipes for Pontiac V-8's do not exist. I have had a 1968 Firebird project seemingly forever. The Firebird needs to move around under it's own power but I had straight pipes exiting at the doors. Loud enough to wake the dead. I had a 455 "B" body head pipe but it had the three bolt flanges. I need the two bolt flanges because it is 1968 manifolds. So I scrounged around my garage and found enough to whip up a head pipe and muffler. So six separate pieces I used to make this. Gotta love gas welding, it doesn't care if the steel is all rusty. For now baling wire can hold the muffler up. Cost: some welding gas and a few beers.

Although I sometimes live dangerously- beer and welding don't mix very well. The ice tea is for welding and the beer is for waiting while it cools to install. And inspect. Etc.

Good work! What year Camaro? Every time I tried to look up a Pontiac pipe it shows the Chevy engine version (which is available).

Did the same thing for a salvage yard Y-pipe for an 03 S-10. New pipe was quoted out at over a grand!! The victim only needed one of the joints rewelded where it had suffered some rust and heat cycle damage.

+1 on your welding table; even has a second shelf on which to stash a grinder or tools so you don't have to search on the floor for them.
