Default stage 2 exhaust

After shopping around and getting blown away on a ebay exhaust I got a good deal." hrvette" a ebay seller sold me a outstanding product. I have nothing but good reviews from the set-up and the quality was worth the the wait. The stage 2 duel exhaust 2'' to 2 1/2'' aluminized has good rumble for my bone stock '74, but it sits a tad too low. No big deal. I highly recommend it, and its identical to some other products that are a third more expensive.

I had the stage II exhaust on mine until I got my sidepipes. Bought it from a guy in North Manchester Indiana off of Ebay. After I bought it I asked if I could avoid the freight by just going to Logansport In. To Allens Exhaust (The Exhaust Doctor) and pick them up. the pipes fit perfectly and Mike Allen is a good guy. As a matter of fact, I have a friend that is restoring a 77 and he is putting the pipes on it.

With the tops on, not load that you can t have a soft conversation while going through the gears. With the tops off is different, between the wind and back ground noise of the road you will have to get use to it. Granted I run w/ stock manifolds w/ a stock motor. You change up and you will get loader for sure. But thats what this type of exhaust is for. cheaper than side pipes but almost the same sound but out the back. Good Luck.

I bought a 1998 back in 2008 with a bit under 100,000 miles on it. I put a set of those ebay headers and Borla cat backs soon after buying it.
They never gave me any issues and I drove it ALOT and hard. It has 350,000 miles on it when I sold it and was still running strong. I plan on getting the same set of header you posted this spring and have them installed on my 2000
