how much would it cost to have an exhaust system to be repaired or replaced on a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne? Also how much does an oil pump cost for it also? Thanks in advance!

The oil isn't pumping into the pistons , will that cause your pump to need replacing? Also when I crank the car it's really loud!!!

It has a v-8 engine.

The Parisienne is a kinda cool car. My mom use to have one. It has a 350 chevy eng. You should be able to get another engine for around $600 bucks. Doubtful it's worth that much though. I wouldn't give you $100 for the car running. It's 20 years old.
The oil pump better not be pumping oil to the pistons. you would be having problems then.
First remove the distributor and make sure the shaft isn't rounded off at the bottom end (or broken)
Then remove the oil pressure sending unit.(so you can watch for results).
Then put the shaft in the hole without the distributor and attach a drill to the upper end and crank it pretty fast. That should turn the oil pump. If it doesn't turn you'll need a new pump.
If it does turn and the eng has oil, it should shoot out of the hole where the sending unit came from. If oil does come out of that little hole, you don't need an oil pump and you just saved about $200.
best fo luck to ya.

Generally exhaust should cost no more than $200.00.
What scares me is the need for an oil pump. Light coming on? Engine noisy? Either may indicate something other than the oil pump.
The V-6's in those years actually had the pump gears located inside the timing cover and usually the timing cover was so badly scored you needed to replace the whole timing cover.
Really need more info.

well that depends if they put the canverter back on or if they put the whole exhaust system back on. that s i'd guess 800 for the whole thing new. the oil pump is around 20 bucks but around 150 to put it in. they have to take the motor apart to get at it. Call 3 or 4 places and ask they will tell you how much then pick the best one.The oil pump depends on if they can just take off the oil pan sometimes they have to lift the motor to get at all that.

need more information regarding why you need your exhaust fixed what are the symptoms and so forth , all in all this car is not worth fixing in my opinion...so hopefully you can get another vehicle.
Good Luck
