Default Finding exhaust pipe kit.

where to get exhaust kit for my 77 c3 with Flowtec 31106 FLT headers. I'm planning on putting a 2.5" exhaust on it all the way to the back without cats. Just Flow master super 10 mufflers somewhere in the system. Maybe where the cats used to be since these mufflers are the same length as the cats were. I just want to buy the pipes going through the cross member and around the 350 transmission is the tricky part. If anyone knows if theres a kit that would work for me, let me know. Thanks

You could try these I suppose:

The 1974 dual exhaust system can be installed on the 1975-1977 cars without too much fuss. Your headers will make it a little harder though (I haven't done headers on a C3, so someone else might be able to chime in). I would just put the mufflers at the back where they were originally designed to go - least amount of work because they will just bolt on.

Most muffler shops can build a set of pipes from scratch too, if these don't work.

With the location of where you want the mufflers you will have to find a kit that is complete without the mufflers and I think it is going to drone like crazy in that location.
Unless you buy a kit from a manufacturer that makes the headers and exhaust system you probably wont find a true bolt in kit that will fit to your headers. All headers dont end in the same place so some form of modification will be required. My personal preference is to buy stainless steel exhaust so I only have to do it once, with that said the brands that use stainless are Stainless steel works (I think through Corvette Central), Magnaflow, and Pypes are the only brands I can think of right now.

I bought a Pypes complete kit for my 69 big block, that is 2.5" diameter. It came with 2 mufflers, and they wouldn't be my first choice for mufflers, but they're ok for being included in the kit.


I had to make a pipe to fit from the X pipe, that came thru the cross member, to the headers. That was fairly easy to do, and only had to have a few short pieces of 2.5" pipe that wasn't included in the kit.


And, I think I got the kit for $450-500, I don't remember exactly. I did get it from Summit Racing

Those 2 pipes go to the stock manifolds, not headers, right? He is looking for pipes that go to headers......
