Default Corvette Central exhaust

I have a new set of 2 1/2 inch polished stainless mufflers and need to fit some pipes on around them. I was thinking about getting the cc intermediate pipes so my question is will the 68-74 auto trans intermediate pipes work with my 78 with no emissions equipment and headers.

I would think they would fit just fine. I used a set from Allen's with no problems.

Look at your cross memeber. It was designed to run the cat. converter. To use the 74 pipes you will have to have the X member with 2 holes in it. Make sure of this because the 78 exhaust is quite different than the earlier sharks.

It has 2 holes in it. I have true duals right now but they are 2 inch.

On the '78 L82 I used to own I installed a true dual exhaust system from Corvette Central. It all installed easily and ran even better afterwards.
