Default 72 stock mufflers

Hello can you install 72 stock mufflers on a 75 vette without changing the whole exhaust system. Also we’re can I find a set. Thanks

Why are you wanting to use 72' mufflers?

Not without adaptors. In '72 exhaust pipes came in 2" & 2 1/2". In '75 it was 2 1/4"

If this is because you don't like the looks of the big "round" style muffler in '75, Corvette Central sells a hideaway muffler.
It looks like a '72 muffler but without the tips...
