I have a '72 4 speed and need the front and intermediate pipes. I may just put a whole new system in but the mufflers and tips are pretty new, the exhaust from the mufflers forward is a mess of welded, rusty and bent up pipes.
How well does the direct fit system work...? I would rather do the work myself.

I guess I didn't make myself clear enough.....I'm asking who's system fit with no bending or welding needed....? What systems have other members had good luck with....? I'm not looking for performance improvements just one that works.
Listen....any set from a vendor will work without bending or welding. (Unless you want to weld the muffler to the intermediate pipe like the factory did.)

Brian,
The way you had titled the thread lead me to believe you were looking at a specific company's product. As Revi has posted there are several "made to fit" systems available. Some are closer to the originals and better for judging. Read up a little about the materials used then make your choice. Again most bolt right on, no cutting or welding required.
After taking a closer look at my mufflers I realized they need to be replaced as well....Not rusted thru anywhere but they are starting to rust so I might as well just replace the whole system.
Thinking about this system from Eckler's, anybody have this installed....?
I have a Central Corvette system with Magnaflow mufflers on my 78, its 9 years old and 50K miles. The installation was easy for me using a floor jack. I was looking at Midamerica, Eklers, and others, plus using stock mufflers, chambered, turbo, and many other types. There is no abc answer to the basic question.

System got delivered today....I can't say enough about the quality, I just hope it fits as well. Plan is to install over the weekend. I'll post some pics and a video with sound when I get it all in.
Direct fit exhaust system.....?
