opinion?..

Hey guys, Im finally going to replace the entire exhaust system on my '73 coupe big block.
Im looking at Corvette Central...they have the deluxe packages that comes with Everything at a good deal...they don't make one for a 1973!..only for 1968-1972...the difference is in the mufflers and hangers:
will these look ok on my car? they're saying yes but as always.. I'd like your opinion

here's what Im looking at:

part# 323720-DLXB

..the mufflers will be tacked away more than the '73 models...thoughts??

anyone knows about any COUPON CODES AVAILABLE??

Thanks

I used the 72 set up on my 73 BB, they look good, I like the way they don't hang down, like the big oval 73's did.

On my '73.... I bought the 68-72 kit from Corvette Central that came with Magnaflow mufflers, for the same reason Oldsage gave. I don't like the big stock muffler showing either. But you will not be able to re-use your '73 tips...they angle different from the 68-72. I just bought new stainless tips with the new system...

EDIT: looks like you get new tips with that kit...

BTW: Did you have to buy different muffler hangers or the 68-72 included worked with the car??

I am pretty sure the hangers came with the set and I used what they sent. But you do have to get a set of off set tips.

The 73 hangers worked fine with the 68-73 mufflers...
