Default Header back exhaust

I am about the order a set of stahl headers(not side exit but rear exit) but need to get a new exhaust system from the header back. Does anyone know of a company that sells exhaust systems with glass packs? I'm also hoping to be able to use the original c3 tips.

You'll find it might just be easier to go to your local muffler shop and have them install what you want. That's what roughly 75% of the folks can do here.
I have a 2.5" custom exhaust with an H-pipe after my hooker super comps. I got it bent up at the local exhaust shop for around $500.

I also went with the local shop option. I purchased the mufflers and x-pipe connection myself and had the shop supply the pipe, hangers and do the bending. The shop cost was $250.

However, you might be interested in taking a look at this from one of our supporting sponsors: http://pypesexhaust.com/sys-vette1.html

interesting. my only problem is that partially in my haste to remove the exhaust and partially due to the fact that the exhaust is over 30 years old, all the old tubing is completely destroyed...meaning the car isn't really going any further than the end of my driveway. Looks like im going to be getting side pipes after all.
