Hello All, new here
Hi everyone thought I would say hello.
My girlfriend just bought a '79 coupe (Her first vette!), Needs a little fixing up but is in very good shape. I was wondering if I could ask for some information...
We want to put flowmaster on it, but I can't find a kit for her year. It has exhaust manifolds on it right now, I am looking for a kit that has mandrel bent tubing from the manifolds back to the tail pipes with flowmaster, does one exist? If not what would you recommend?
Thanks!

Welcome, There is not kit available for the Vettes. You are better off finding a good local shop to custom bend the pipes and put on the Flowmasters.

Aw man, don't be a mustang and get Flowmasters. Everybody has a flow. Be different. How bout dynomax or hooker or magnaflow? Flows have a lot of backpressure. You can get more horses from a different muff. Someone posted up a muffler comparo....if i could only find it....

Welcome I am also new here. I have a 79 I took mine to a local muff shop and had them cut-out the old exhaust and custom install a true dual system. Sounds and looks great. Als quite cheap $350 for the complete job

Re: Hello All, new here (68goat)
I agree with the others. If you want a true dual system, get the mufflers for your application and have the pipes custom bent/installed at a good muffler shop. I avoid the muffler shop chains as they typically lack the skill of a good local muffler shop (and you get a better deal/quality in my opinion with the local shop).
FYI, Dynomax sells a complete Cat-back 'Super Turbo' system for the C3. You can order at most Auto Parts stores. So, if you are wanting to retain the stock front y-pipe and converter, I highly recommend their system. Otherwise, buy the mufflers that you prefer and let the sop work their magic. Remember, have the pipes welded; not clamped together. :seeya
