Default exhaust

FYI.......just converted to a dual exhaust system on my 1976 and am very pleased to say that the 2-1/2" system with magnaflow mufflers from corvette central was well worth the "great price"......sounds great, looks great......anyone thinking about it, i say "just do it":

I put this system on my '76 a few years ago & in my opinion it's the best one out there. Mine's the one for stock manifolds and fit was perfect. It looks like I put it on yesterday & it still sounds great......

no headers, i bolted right up to ram horn manifolds. You drill out fro two brackets where the exhaust passes throught the cenetr frame. took one hour per side. great sound too.
