Knowing what you have will make it easier to make recommendations on what direction to go in.

Mufflers?
The exhausted is in good shape. It is dual at the engine than "Y's" to a single than dual again at what looks to me as stock mufflers. No catalytic converter.

Borla mufflers
[QUOTE=ddhebert;1594386873]Thanks. Someone else recommend "Borla" but the site doesn't show one to match my car.[/QUOTE
I went with the Borla S/S muffler and center cooling square tips. The muffler has a 2-1/2" inlet and 2 each 2" outlets. They look great I hope the sound as good as they look.

You're going to have to free up memory; RAM or hard drive depending on what it's wanting.

I just had a set of magnflows installed on my 77. They sound great, not obnoxious and have a nice deep sound. The previous owner had removed the cats however and installed a true dual exhaust. I have a noticeable improvement in accelerator response as well.

I had a set of Cherry Bombs muffler s on my first corvette as a teen which was a 1974 coupe 350 . That will add some extra tone.

Borla dual center cooled tips
I just found the matching numbers on my 77 L82 but I can't figure out if the color matches the vin number. The last 6 numbers of the vin. are stamped on the engine below the engine serial number. It is dark blue with tan interior. Can anyone read the number below and let me know if the colors match?
VIN. 1Z37X7S41273
ENG. V1027CLF
What I know is:
350 cu 210 hp (L82)
3 speed auto tran.
dark blue exterior
tan leather interior
I am not sure if the blue is the original color?

The blonde in the Cruising The Coast picture is the BOSS! She has matching numbers too😎

Thanks, I went with the Borla mufflers, split the exhaust to make it a true duel exhaust, Patriot PTE-H8025-1 ceramic headers, Doug DOU-DEC250AK Electric exhaust cut-outs, Doug DOU-DEC250ATD cut-out drop outs. SOUNDS GREAT. The electric cut-outs are great. You can open/close the cut-outs by just pressing the switch on the center console.
