www.madvet.com or www.ecklers.com... but they can be pricey. Check ebay for used stuff to repair your deEr damage.

You might try Contemporary Corvette (link on my site) as they vend new and used Vette parts and may be able to provide what you need at a price.
Yea, I too have scared off a few with my FlowMasters. Once I slowed to about 30mph when one was grazing close to the Parkway; when I nugged the throttle he/she immediately darted for the cover of the trees. These loud exhausts must sound enough like a predator to arouse the "flight" instinct.

I have however, never hit a Deer. My monza mufflers warn them that I'm coming.

Better than the elk we have in our part of PA! Gotta watch them critters, your best bet if one of them run out is steer for between the legs, you will shoot right underneath...if your aim is off though- it will get ugly real quick

Try www.hpsalvage.com They are located just north of San Antonio. The website sucks, but he does, or did, have some C4 vettes at one time. he only advertises the drive train on his site, but if you call him, he has other things. Hope it helps.
