Default Muffler Eliminators?

Where would be the best place to get a set of these?

So far I have been using only Ecklers to look up parts. Sadly my old catalog seems a bit out of date 2001 and they do not seem to have many choices on line any longer.

Does any other mail order place stock them?

What would be a good set to get?

Aluminizied or Stainless steel?

I know it is a few questions but looking for some answers

THANKS

I picked up a set of Allen's baffled eliminators with ZR1 tips a couple of years ago off eBay. They still look and sound great.

They are aluminized. This is exactly what I have:

...and they sound awesome! The sound is similar to a 60's Vette with side pipes.

I like the sound of the muffler elims the PO put on but I have no idea who makes 'em. They are a bit droney at highway speeds but sound great accelerating around town. Not too loud but folks check out the sound of horses on the loose. I may end up doing something different when I get rid of the y pipe and the big cat and go with LTH's, an x pipe and a 2.5" true dual set up with hi po cats.

I like the ZR1 elims/tips that E.J. has linked. Sharp

How do you think the ZR1 tips look with the round tail lights of an 88?

I picked up a set from Corvette Central. I was very suprised at how easy they went on!! I almost had a heart attack when I somehow only had to make 1 cut per side!!!! I think they sound great for a cheap addition!!

I got the Corvette Central ones with the LT1 tips for my '94. Easy to install and they looked and sounded great.

They are prone to rust. Take a little time to strip and repaint them. I drove mine all year so I wasn't easy on them, but mine started to rust at the tips and where the tips were welded. I stripped and repainted mine. The stock paint that comes on them isn't too good.
