I'm trying to be happy with the CC n-11's. They sound ok cold, but I wish they were louder warm. Too many other things to work on now to mess with others.

Very happy to report that my Gardner Exhaust system is AWESOME!!

I finally got that sound I have been wanting. Worth every cent. The entire system fit perfectly. Very high quality and exacting as it relates to OEM.

I took a quick video but will take more. Vid does not do justice regarding the correct sound I have been after.

My understanding is that they are exact N-11 reproductions. Call Eric Gardner at Gardner Exahust for details. I thought they are just two baffles (N-11)

IMHO they have the best sound(authentic) I have found.

Guys: So I have the last of the cherrybombs on my 67 L-79 vert. Despite the fact that I think they are perfect sound (my neighbors will not agree), I need to put a full exhaust on car. Both front pipes are smashed due to a low hanging driveway. Right side is now 1 1/2 inch as opposed to 2 1/2 inch. Also the cherrybombs line up terrible in the rear valance and I am afraid on damage to valence or side of car as I just got it all painted. So to confirm buy garders N-11 system over CC. are there any more manufacturers? Also my stock L-79 is 2 inch exhaust manifolds that dump into a 2 1/2 exhaust correct. Car is all stock and 4sp with full exhaust.

CC and Gardner are about it in terms of manufacturers, and the product works, although some prefer the Allen system sound to that of the CC system. Your manifold and pipe system is correct - the last 2-1/2" exhaust manifold was used in 1965.
