Trouble is I'm finding that lumping in what I 'ought' to do or 'want' to do, with what i NEED to do is making projects daunting and very cost-prohibitive!!!

Yeah.
I don't know whether a 'sting' was run around here at some point in the past decade, but all exhaust shops go running screaming like little girls when you point to any part that has or HAD a catalytic converter. They don't like to replace original cats with highflow cats, won't alter pipes that lead to cats, and won't work on pipes that are fit where cats used to be. So far my arguments that its a Euro car, and that its 20 years old, ring hollow. I got one guy to work on it by saying it was a track car, but he got bent when he saw it registered and on the road.
