Default 1970 Exhaust System

I recently purchased from one of the main corvette parts vendors a complete exhaust system for my 1970 LS5. It was such a bad fit so I returned it. However, the return shipping cost was on me.

I read on this forum the good reviews about Allen’s exhaust systems manufactured here in Indiana. I’ve called them several times but no answer. I have left messages but nobody returns my calls. Does anybody know what is going on with them? Are they still in business? In COVID lockdown?

Today, I called my preferred vendor who said the delivery date on a system could be out months.
I’m just looking for a quality stock exhausts system that fits with no issues. Anybody ordered one recently who could recommend a vendor?
Thanks

I'd suggest you go to a (good) local shop and let them fab a system.

Thanks for the response guys. I called Paragon and they sell the Allen's exhaust system. Should arrive in 3 to 4 weeks.
