Default A & A Exhaust Mod...

Since A & A Engines does not provide the SS pipes for this mod anymore, does anyone know who does?

Are you talking about the two small tubes that get welded in between the muffler pipes?

I will admit I have not a clue what these things are worth. I got them as a freebie when I purchased my C5. But, I think $40 seems a little low. I mean, it will cost more than that to ship them don't you think?

Any help out there people. What's a realistic value on this exhaust system?

As I remember, the A&A pipes were $79 bucks, which seems a lot for two little pieces. I say $80 plus shipping would be OK. Stock exhaust without the mod are a dime a dozen.

Blowtorch,

When I responded with the offer, the photo's were not in view. I did not realize that it was the whole system. I thought you had just the two 6" SS pipes for the mod. Sorry for misunderstanding.

No kidding.

Any exhaust place can cut, run, & weld a small piece of pipe for a reasonable fee.
