Default Gardner Exhaust

Been looking at some old posts on how well liked the Gardner exhaust is.

Just wondered if folks are still having good luck with them---specifically N11 on an early '63 (tool trays).

BTW, what's a system cost ------I'd call but I think they're closed.

Thank you in adv.

Check out Corvette Central. They make their own exhaust based on original pipe patterns and have prices on their web site and offer a variety of systems with and without headers.

I just installed the Gardner "n11" on my 67. Fit was perfect, easy install. I really like how it sounds, different than the system that was on it. As I recall it was just over 1k shipped to SoCal, I used my hangars and tips, so they were not included in the price.
If anyone in the SoCal are wants a Gardner stainless steel exhaust for a 67 L79, let me know!

I put a Gardner system in my 66 Impala SS, every pc of hardware was included. It went together with no issues and sounds great. Just a tad over 1000.00

Hi, any chance of a sound clip? I'm getting ready to replace the Allen's off-road I installed 10 or so years ago that is/was much quieter than the original off-road I replaced. thanks
