Hey Folks,

Just got done my engine detail and installation of Blackjack ceramic coated long tube headers on my Chevelle. Now let's never speak of that again.:sad: Anyway, I was able to mat the exhaust to the headers and it sounds good, but not the deep sound I was looking for. It's only a 2" exhaust, and I want a 2.5" system. Is this best left to an exhaust shop or are the kits you see from Flowmaster, etc., in the Summit catalogs and such a good deal? Do they fit nicely? I've done an exhaust from a kit before and was less than pleased on the tailpipes. They were all bent out of shape. Anybody use these on their 70? Thanks

Cheers:beers:

I used a Flowmaster American Thunder system on my 70. It fits perfect, no issues whatsoever.
