These guys have great customer service & they actually manufacture for most of the catalogue company's & know what they are doing .....
I bought my mufflers from them, bolt on, perfect fit & sound. They also manufacture their own chambered exhaust systems.

I have a Magnaflow system on my 70. I am satisfied with it. Not very loud until you get on the gas and then it comes alive. Straight through muffler design and you get an x-pipe design.

are most of these kits designed for bolting up to stock manifolds or headers?

I bought my car and it already had headers so i'm just wondering if some of the kits would bolt up from there back?

I put a Corvette Central/Magnaflow set on my '79 with stock manifold, no headers. Works great!

I also have the Corvette Central Magnaflow system... Very reasonable price and great fit.
It is just a little louder than stock at idle, and no drone...

I also installed a pair of CC Magnaflow mufflers on my LT-1. They look like stock and have the welded hanger brackets on them with the inlet tubes bent to hook up to the factory pipes. I run them with headers for now, and they really roar with little back pressure. I'm glad I bought them.

Magnaflow use my 80 as a template to design a system for 80-81 Vettes. I am very satisfied with the results and it still looks just a good as the day they put it on

Guys,

WHen you are talking about the Corvette Centrall kit do you mean this one (example for 74). Is anyone using it along with a steeroids setup?
Thanks,
Nick

I bought the Magnaflow kit 16842. I had to modify it to have the exhaust tips I wanted but it works for my 73.

As above also with Kahle - excellent fit and sounds great. One of only 2 concessions from originality I made with the '70BB (the other was an MSD 6AL). Has the correct flattened pipes as they pass under the rear suspension.

I also have the Corvette Central kit, and agree that it is a great value.

Personally I find that the exhaust is a little too quiet.
