Not how I run my company, and I will not do business with a company that operates in such a manner.

You have got to be kidding me! How is that e-mail anonymous? You need to learn how to do alittle research before you start telling me how to run my company! All of my personal contact info is out there and the headers are drop shipped from the manufacturer. That is how I can keep the cost so low. I have done numerous installs and even made a video. I am all over CF, DC and Smokinvette. I didn't come on CF as Custom Image because I am not a paid vendor. Ask anyone who knows me, I stand behind my services and products. I challenge you to find anything out there that refers to me in a negative way.

I look forward to seeing the finished product Josh..

I really like the look and the sound. It was expensive, and some slight modification of the covers was required. The rear valance panel was glassed over to eliminate the exhaust openings.

From what I've been told, people either love the look or hate it.


do you have a pic of the rear valance after the glass work? i'm in the process of filling in the rear cutouts .

WOW, the chromed ones rusted too?? I had a set of these on my Pontiac T/A back in the late 70s. Two summer's worth of driving, and they rusted in the same place yours did. In fact, one of the collectors fell right off due to rust damage. I though that I had issues because I bought the black painted headers instead of the chromed ones....

Had made a custom set-up with Walker glasspacks tucked nicely under my 69 covers. Read all about it in my post of the build up.
