Exhaust System Recommendation for 1977
I am searching for an exhaust system that I can bolt on my self that doesn't require any cutting or special fitting. Corvette Central has a system that comes with patriot headers and true dual straight pipes connecting to magnaflow mufflers -- anyone have experience with this or recommendations?

I'd be interested to see what's out there. My 77 has brand new mufflers and tip's. But has the old Y pipe into one cat. Looking to get the exhaust pipes to run from original manifolds straight back to my mufflers.

I just put the Corvette Central dual exhaust on my '79 and I was able to install it easily to the existing manifolds. Getting the old rusted bolts off was the most difficult. I like the system and the sound, it's not very loud until you really hit it. Also, my wife commented it is cooler in the car since I put the new exhaust on. I know the catalytic converter under her seat kept it pretty warm.

I went with the Corvette Central dual exhaust with Magnaflow muffllers. I used the system that just bolted up to the stock exhaust manifolds.
The installation was pretty straightforward and everything fit with no problems.
Soak all the studs, bolts and nuts with PB blaster for a couple of days beforehand. A sawzall might come in handy too.
