I just installed a dual conversion kit from Corvette Central. 2 1/2 pipes with the Magnaflows. I have a thread running in this forum New exhaust arrived today, check it out. I felt it was a good choice. Easy install, sounds and looks great.

I have the same sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. I went with the RacePros. I hope it is a great fit indeed......

I put corvette centrals true dual system on my '81 with magnaflows, 2.5" with H-pipe--- the price was good and the fit was excellent, I did have to "tweak" the manifold section a tiny bit but I think that is common on most systems you buy for a DYI installation.

When you say you had to tweak the manifold section a bit, can you elaborate more please?
I bought a complete Magnaflow system for my 72 BB and the downpipe from the manifold to the crossmember is so terribly off that the bends all seem wrong. There is no way I can clear my TH400 tranny pan currently and am trying to figure out how to solve this. Mandrel benders are extremely hard to find in my neck of the woods and I'd like to hear how others "made good" the fit.
Mohamed, you can purchase X pipes from a number of suppliers and then fabricate the rest yourself !
Thx
