Default Gardner Exhaust System on 65

Removed the side pipes that were not original equipment and installed the Gardner exhaust system on my 65 Big Block. A video of the car leaving Jeff's Resurrections is on their website. Love the sound of their system.

Default How quiet??

Looking for a system that gives good perf and is pretty close to oem sound level for my 67 BB. Are the bends pretty nice. Oem ones were pretty crinkled

The OEM crinkled inner radius bends are much preferred over the stretched metal outer radius bends of most aftermarket pipes.

I put a Gardner Exhaust on my '70 BB Nova about 5 years ago. It fit perfectly. Had the correct crinkley bends. I can't speak for the sound on the Corvette system but the sound on the Nova system was close enough.

Gardner makes quality systems and there's a number of people on this board that have used Gardner's stuff for other makes of cars.
